Shortbread Goodness

What's the holidays without
a little sweetness to go along with them?

I just had to share these melt in your mouth
Shortbread Cookies.

Need I say more?
I know you may find this hard to believe, but I've never

made Shortbread cookies.

Until now that is.

I usually make Sugar cookies for the holidays.

The only thing about Sugar cookies is they contain eggs.

I wanted to make a holiday cookie that our Grandson

could enjoy and not have an allergic reaction from.

Shortbread cookies to the rescue!

These cookies are crispy on the edges with a center

that melts in your mouth.

Plain or decorated, it matters not. They will still melt in your mouth.

And the buttery shortbread goodness taste from

these cookies is pure heaven.

These will definitely be in my holiday baking folder.

Oh, by the way, they were a huge hit with our Grandson.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Ingredients:

2 cups Butter, softened

1 cup Granulated Sugar

1/8 cup Confectioners' Sugar, sifted

1/8 cup Light Brown Sugar, firmly packed

2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

4 - 5 cups All-Purpose Flour, sifted

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°

Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Stir in vanilla; add flour 1 cup at a time and mix well until dough forms a soft ball.

Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Flour a surface and roll the dough out to about 1/4 and cut it out with cookie cutters.

Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly brown.

Let cool completely. These are great on their own but you can decorate if you so desire.

*If you don't want to use cookie cutters*

Roll the dough ball into a log shape and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove dough log from the refrigerator and slice into 1/4" thick slices.

Until Next Time,
