Whipped Shortbread

Hi :) I thought I would take advantage of a free

afternoon last weekend, and get a little baking done.

Last year you might remember this post,

where we whipped up some shortbread & Yum Yum

for your coffee (recipe is posted).

I had a few ppl comment that their shortbread didn't

work out so well, so Dinnon decided he would demonstrate :)

Doesn't he look SUPER cute in his little hat :)

You will need Butter, Icing Sugar, Vanilla, Cornstarch, and

Flour. If you have a mixmaster, that would be AWESOME.

First : Whip 1 lb. of butter up until it is really light and

fluffy. Make sure your butter is at room temp, and nice

and soft. I left mine out overnight. Whip, whip, whip away

and once it's smooth and creamy, add your vanilla. Once

that is mixed in, slowly add your icing sugar, flour, and

cornstarch about 1 cup at a time. Be sure to mix well

in between each new addition. Scrape the sides of your bowl consistently to make sure you

get all the dry ingredients combined. I let mine whip up for a

good 3 to 4 minutes. You should get awesome light, fluffy

dough. I doubt you can "over whip" this shortbread.

Drop by teaspoonful's onto a ungreased cookie sheet.
And bake for 10 to 12 minutes @ 350 F.
Melt in your mouth.. just like butter :)

Here is the recipe :)

1 lb. Butter
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Cup Icing Sugar
3 cups Flour
1/2 cup Cornstarch

Blend butter to soften. Add vanilla & mix.
Add dry ingredients slowly, about 1 cup at a time,
mixing consistently, scraping down sides.
Once everything is combined, beat well with electric mixer.
Drop by spoonful's onto ungreased cookie sheet,
and bake for 10 to 12 minutes @ 350 F.
