Shortbread Hearts
Ingredients:
1 - stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 - cup all-purpose flour
1/3 - cup confectioners' sugar (powdered sugar)
Directions: Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In mixing bowl, cream butter. Add
flour and sugar; mix to combine or just until it forms a soft dough (chill
10 - 15 minutes if dough is too soft).
Gently roll shortbread dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4
inch thick. Cut with a heart shaped cookie cutter (dipped in flour).
Using a fork that has been dipped into flour lightly poke a few holes on
top of each heart (see photo).
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet or a baking sheet that has been
sprayed with baking spray.
Bake until firm and slightly golden brown (30 to 35 minutes). Cool on baking
sheet for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Makes 8-10 cookies.
Cook's Note: I always double the recipe, so there's plenty to go around.
