3-Ingredient Shortbread Cookies

Recipe from 3-Ingredient Cookies: 30 Tasty and Easy to Make Recipes for Any Occasion

Prep: 10 min  Cook: 16-18 min  Makes: 15 cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened

½ cup powdered sugar (*see Note below)

2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with a mixer.
• Add the flour. Continue to mix from the crumbly stage until it forms a soft dough. Form the dough into a ball with your hands.
• On a clean surface dusted with powdered sugar, roll out the dough 1/4 -inch thick with a dusted rolling pin.
• Cut the dough into rounds and place on the baking sheets.
• Bake for 16-18 minutes. Cookies are done when they are pale golden brown.
• Let cool completely, then remove from the baking sheets.

*Note: you can make powdered sugar from granulated sugar. Add ½ cup of sugar to a blender and pulse on high speed until the sugar is completely powdered. This makes 1 cup of powdered sugar.
