Whipped Shortbread Cookies - New Year Recipes
Very similar to a recipe I used to use. I find it’s more like 9-10 dozen though! I use salted butter and add about 1.5 tsp vanilla. I cook at 290 for about 25 minutes. You really must let them cool on the tray before removing. Also if your butter doesn’t turn lighter coloured and soft looking them your dough won’t pull together. If your dough doesn’t pull together your cookies won’t work.
