Treat Yourself Shortbread Cookies
Servings 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened or melted but cooled
- 1 cup white flour
- ½ cup icing sugar
- ½ cup arrowroot flour or corn starch
Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 300F and prepare two baking trays with silicone mats or parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
- Add in butter and mix until smooth and blended - texture should be creamy not crumbly, if it isn’t combining well, add a little extra melted butter to soften the dough until the texture is creamy.
- Using a cookie scooper or tbsp, make 1 tbsp balls and flatten with bottom of a cup or with your hands. If the cup or your hands are sticking to the cookies, dampen a little with water.
- Top with your favourite sprinkles, nuts, chocolate chips, crushed candy cane… Get creative or keep it simple.
- Bake for 13-18 minutes, check them every minute or so. Remove from oven as soon as the bottoms start to turn golden and let them sit for a good 15 minutes until serving or eating as they will harden as they cool.
Notes
These are great to bring as a gift to any holiday party (we recommend buying a cute cookie tin from the dollar store or even online). Feel free to top these babies with your favourite toppings or sprinkles. You can also crush up some pecans and throw them into the mix! So many possibilities.
