Delicate, buttery, and perfectly crisp, these shortbread biscuits require only three ingredients and come together effortlessly. Perfect for any occasion or an afternoon snack!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
Directions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy—about 2–3 minutes.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until the dough just comes together.
- The dough will be slightly crumbly but should hold when pressed.
- Chill the Dough:
- Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- This helps the dough firm up and makes it easier to handle.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the Biscuits:
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thickness.
- Cut into shapes using a cookie cutter or simply slice into rectangles.
- Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.
- Be careful not to overbake; they should still be pale.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the shortbread to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy with tea, coffee, or a glass of milk!
Tips:
- For a festive touch, sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar before baking.
- Add a dash of vanilla extract or a bit of lemon zest for extra flavor.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate for a luxurious finish.
Storage:
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- They also freeze well for up to 1 month.
