Ingredients:

 

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, slightly softened

Method

1.  Cream butter until soft and smooth.  Add sugars and mix just until incorporated.

2.  In a separate bowl, sift together remaining ingredients.

3.  With a mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients all to the butter mixture and process just until incorporated and dough comes together.

4.  Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 5-10 times, just to smooth.  You can use the dough immediately, but you will get better results if you chill it until firm before rolling and cutting.

5.  For cookies, bake in preheated 325 F degree oven for 15-18 minutes;  for traditional shortbread, bake at 350 for 15 minutes – turn pan (hitting the pan on the rack to remove air bubbles) and bake another 15 minutes until lightly browned around the edges.

 

Makes 1 dozen large cookies.
