How To Make simple irish shortbread
-
Step 1Grease a 9x 13 pan. Cream butter and sugar, add vanilla if using. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time.
-
Step 2The dough will look dry and be very crumbly, this is how it's supposed to look. Transfer dough into pan and lightly pat it down. You can scour the cookie size you want at this time or wait till you take it out of the oven. (I find it works better to do it before baking.) You can sprinkle the top of the dough lightly with sugar at this point if you'd like.
-
Step 3Bake in the over at 300 for 40-45 minutes or until the edges are light brown.
