shortbread cookies recipe

These chocolate shortbread cookies are buttery and crisp with a melt in the mouth texture. Made with just 6 ingredients these cookies get done in less than 20 minutes. A fuss-free recipe that needs no chilling or special equipment.

Chocolate Shortbread Cookies

Unsalted butter ((2 sticks) room temperature)

Powdered sugar

All purpose flour / plain flour

tbsp Cocoa powder

tbsp Cornstarch

tsp Vanilla extract ((try clear vanilla))

sugar

Preheat the oven to 170 C/340 F.

In a bowl using a spatula or whisk, cream butter for a minute then add the powdered sugar.

Add the vanilla or (rose) flavoring. Followed by the flour, cocoa, and cornstarch. Combine well and shape into a ball. Tip - all flour absorbs moisture differently so if necessary add one to two tsp of water if the dough is dry.

Make 32 cookies - Divide dough into four and each into another four. Continue to divide until you have 32 pieces. Tip - I like small shortbread cookies but you can also make these fewer and bigger in size

Roll each piece of dough into a ball and flatten it on the palm of your hand. Gently dap the flat cookie into granulated sugar.

Place on a baking tray. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Cool in the tray for 5 minutes then cool completely on a cooling rack before you store in a cookie jar.

Shortbread Cookies

unsalted butter, (softened)

confectioner's sugar

vanilla extract

almond extract

all-purpose flour

In a large bowl, add butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Using a hand mixer, beat until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and continue beating on low until combined.

Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add flour and beat on low, stop and scrape down the bowl, and then continue beating until well combined.

Shape the dough into a rectangle block the same width as you want your cookies to be. Wrap in plastic wrap, then firm up your edges by pressing the rectangle block on the counter, and then chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut ½-inch thick rectangles from the dough, then place the cut cookies on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Use a fork to make the hole pattern on the top of the cookie. Bake for 6 minutes and then rotate the baking sheet in the oven. Continue baking an additional 6 to 7 minutes or until the cookies are barely starting to brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool 2 to 3 minutes on the baking sheet.

Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
