Scottish Shortbread Cookies
Serves: 15-25 cookies, depending on the size of cookie.
 
Ingredients
  • 1 C. (8 oz.) Butter, softened
  • ½ C. Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1¾ C. Flour
  • ¼ C. Cornstarch
  • ¼ t. Salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix together in a separate bowl the flour, cornstarch and salt.
  5. Mix the flour into the butter until just combined. Take care to not over-mix.
  6. Roll dough out on a nonstick mat or flour coated surface to a thickness of about ⅓".
  7. Cut the dough into rounds with a circular cutter and place on baking sheet, 2" apart. Using the bottom of a glass that is smaller in diameter than your circular cutter, press the glass bottom into the top of each round, making a circular indent. Prick the center of each cookie a few times with the tines of a fork.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just before they start to brown.
  9. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
