Shortbread… so easy! 2 sticks
Land O Lakes salted butter ( the lady who gave me the recipe insisted)
2 and ¼ cups flour
6
tablespoons of white granular sugar
Let the butter soften in a bowl to room
temp – not runny. Mix the dry ingredients with a fork and a knife.
Keep “cutting” and cutting until you have pea sized balls and then
use your hands gently to form it together in a big mass. Don’t play
with it too much.
Flour your working surface and lay it out
on top. Roll it with a well floured rolling pin, or just flatten it with
your hands to about ¾ inch high.
Cut into 1” x2” pieces
and lift them onto an ungreased cookie sheet with a spatula.
Prick with a fork three or four times
Bake in a 325 oven until they start to
brown up ( it will happen faster on the bottom, but a little brown is better
than undercooked) watch them closely and use your nose!
Lift them off with a spatula and let them
cool on a hard surface.
