How to Make The Confederate Widow's Shortbread
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
- Add the flour and salt to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle or circle. Use a bench scraper to create even edges.
- Cut the dough into desired shapes (squares, diamonds, rounds).
- Place the cut shortbread onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Let the shortbread cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy!
