How to Make Butter Mint Shortbread

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pat the dough into a 12x8 inch rectangle on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the shortbread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before cutting.
  8. Cut into squares and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
