Shortbread CookiesPosted by BettyBoop at recipegoldmine.com Here is another one of my favorite shortbread cookies. 1 cup sweet butter softened (do not substitute)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
48 well drained maraschino cherries cut into small pieces
(or if you like you can use the same amount of candied
red or green cherries) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat butter until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar mixing well. Add vanilla and flour beating well until dough cleans the sides of the bowl. Remove from bowl cover and chill thoroughly for at least 1 hour. Roll out dough 1/2 inch thick on a lightly floured board. Cut into 2-inch rounds with a cookie cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheets and decorate with chopped cherries. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and cool completely. Store in airtight container. Approximately 24 cookies Once again, you can drizzle the tops with some melted bittersweet chocolate.
We hope you enjoy your freshly made Shortbread Cookies. This recipe came from Cookies's, if you'd liked this recipe, there may be many others you'll find delicious as well.
