How to Make Martie's Shortbread

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This is best done with an electric mixer.
  3. Add the salt and vanilla extract (if using) to the butter mixture and mix well.
  4. Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle or circle.
  6. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into desired shapes. Reroll scraps as needed.
  7. Place the cut shortbread cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
  9. Let the shortbread cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing. Enjoy!
