simple recipe for making shortbread cookies
Ingredients:
400 grams all-purpose flour
50 grams powdered sugar
50 grams monk sweetener
1 tablespoon homemade vanilla extract
100 grams cornstarch
350 grams unsalted butter (room temperature)
Instructions:
1. *Preheat the Oven*:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. *Prepare the Dough*:
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, monk sweetener, and cornstarch.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the homemade vanilla extract and mix until the dough begins to come together. It will be crumbly at first but will form a smooth dough as you continue mixing.
3. *Form the Cookies*:
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently until it is smooth.
Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. *Bake the Cookies*:
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. *Optional Toppings*:
Once cooled, you can dust the cookies with extra powdered sugar for a classic touch, or drizzle them with melted chocolate for a fancier treat.
Enjoy:
Enjoy your homemade shortbread cookies with a nice cup of tea or coffee!
