Ingredients
- 1 cup butter at room temperature
- 2 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep your oven preheating the oven at 350° Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer. Make sure there are no clumps and that your mixture is smooth.
- Slowly add in 1 cup of flour at a time to your creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix with your hand mixer or stand mixer until dough is smooth.
- Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Use a spoon to portion out about 1.5-2 Tbsp of the shortbread cookie dough and shape it into a round ball. Place your dough balls onto your un-greased cookie sheet. Space out the cookie dough so that they’re not touching each other. Press the dough down to flatten the ball for an evenly baked cookie.
- OPTIONAL STEP: If you want to add sprinkles or any other forms of toppings, you may do so.
- Bake for 10-12 mins in your preheated oven. Once cookies are done baking, allow the cookies to cool down.
