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 :)
You will need Butter, Icing Sugar, Vanilla, Cornstarch, and
Flour. If you have a mixmaster, that would be AWESOME.
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
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.
And bake for 10 to 12 minutes @ 350 F.
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.
