Shortbread Cookies

Shortbread Cookies are a classic cookie that is often overlooked. I was always the weird one who ordered a box of shortbread cookies while others were ordering caramel delights and thin mints. I had no idea making Shortbread Cookies was so easy. Three simple ingredients come together in just a few minutes. You could be enjoying a Shortbread Cookie about 20 minutes after you print this recipe.

My sister thought these would be better with some sprinkles on them. In fact, she rolled some of her Snickerdoodles in sparkly sprinkles and we dubbed them Sparkledoodles. But I digress. I do agree that these could be made even more festive by rolling the edges in some sprinkles.

Directions:

Cream butter and powdered sugar. Add flour gradually and stir, eventually working with hands.

    Many times I’ve thought about adapting this recipe to making a fruit-flavored cheesecake swirl, like strawberry or raspberry. You beat me to it! They look lovely and I’m sure tasted amazing!

    I’m so excited to try these! I have stacks of blackberries and felt sure they would go brilliantly with chocolate cake. I’d thought of making chic brownies served with fresh berries but these look even better! Thanks.
