Easy Shortbread Cookies is one of the most favored of current trending foods in the world. It is simple, it is quick, it tastes delicious. It is appreciated by millions every day. Easy Shortbread Cookies is something that I’ve loved my entire life. They’re nice and they look fantastic.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have easy shortbread cookies using 3 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Easy Shortbread Cookies:

1. Make ready 50 grams Powdered sugar
2. Take 100 grams Butter (or margarine)
3. Prepare 150 grams All-purpose flour or cake flour

Steps to make Easy Shortbread Cookies:

1. Add powdered sugar to the softened butter (I microwave it for 20 seconds to soften) and mix well with a whisk. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt.
2. Add flour (no sifting needed) and mix with the whisk. Knead the mixture until it's no longer floury. Don't worry if it is rough and crumbly at first, it will be smooth shortly.
3. Tear the dough, flatten each piece to a 1cm thickness and place on a baking pan. Poke holes with a fork. The dough will increase to 1.5 times its original size.
4. Bake in a 355F/180C oven for 10 minutes, then flip the baking tray around and bake for a further 3 minutes (adjust the cooking time accordingly) to bake evenly. Pay attention to the color on the edges.
5. No matter how long you have been baking them, take the cookies out of the oven once they become light brown on the edges. Cool on the baking pan (they will continue to cook from the residual heat), and they are done.
6. Here, I shaped the dough into a square log in plastic film and sliced it to make them like English style shortbread cookies. The dough can be cut with a knife easily even at room temperature. It is very easy to handle, so it's great to make cut-out cookies.
7. They are also delicious with chocolate chips added to the dough. Add the same amount as the sugar. Try them also with cocoa or coffee.
