One of my favorite treats growing up was my mom’s shortbread cookies cut into fun shapes like angels, hearts, stars and snowflakes topped with red, green, blue, yellow, pink and purple sprinkles.
This is a simple recipe that only has five ingredients and short bake time — this means you will have that yummy shortbread goodness in your mouth in no time.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks of butter
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup and 2 tablespoons icing sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups flour
- Sprinkles, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degree F.
- Cream the butter with a beater in a mixing bowl.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and beat until thick.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and roll out thin onto a clean counter.
- Use cookie cutters for fun patterns or a cup to cut out the cookie.
- Place the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet then add sprinkles.
- Bake for 10 minutes or cookies are until golden brown.
