📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl with a hand or a stand mixer, cream butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
2
Add vanilla and salt, then mix until smooth.
3
Add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing between each addition until completely mixed.
4
If dough is too sticky to roll at this point, chill for ⏱️ 20 minutes.
5
Otherwise, divide dough in half. Roll each half out to 1/4-inch thick between two pieces of wax paper or parchment paper.
6
Chill at least ⏱️ 2 hours or overnight. Chilling the dough lets it rest and adds to the overall flavor of the shortbread.
7
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
8
You can cut your shortbread as desired, using cookie cutters for shapes or circles, but I use a ruler and a pizza cutter to cut squares that are approximately 1-inch by 2-inches. Prick each with the tines of a fork for decoration.
9
These don’t spread, so you don’t need to space them more than an inch or two on the cookie sheets. Bake for about ⏱️ 14-18 minutes (depending on size of cookie and thickness) until they start to get golden around the edges.
10
Once cookies are cool, melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl according to package directions. Dip each cookie in chocolate and place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet to set. Add sprinkles if desired.
11
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
