How to Make Whipped Shortbread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This is key to the whipped texture!
- Beat in 2 large egg yolks one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, garnish with your favorite toppings (sprinkles, powdered sugar, chocolate shavings, etc.) and serve in a festive basket for a beautiful presentation!
