Ingredients
  • 3 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 2 cup Salted Butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup Icing Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Glace Cherries (optional)
  • Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. 

  2. Add the flour, butter, powdered sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla to a deep mixing bowl.

  3. Begin mixing the ingredients using electric beaters at their lowest speed. Once the dry ingredients begin mixing with the butter and are not dusty anymore, increase the speed to medium.
  4. A few minutes later, the dough will start to look like sand. Keep beating the dough for another 4 minutes and it will start to come together.
  5. Once the dough comes together and your beaters start straining, increase the speed to high and beat the dough for another 3-4 minutes, or until it resembles thick whipped cream.

  6. Drop small shortbread balls of dough onto a non-stick cookie sheet. Use a fork to gently press each cookie down in the middle. 

  7. Add glace cherries or sprinkles to each cookie, as desired.

  8. Bake cookies in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes. 

  9. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes and transfer them to an airtight container to maintain the optimal freshness.
