Zubereitung von Holiday Shortbread

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Gradually add 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Press dough evenly into an ungreased 9-inch round cake pan or tart pan.
**Important:** Prick the dough all over with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into wedges and enjoy! For extra deliciousness, try adding 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the dough before baking.
