Buckingham Palace Shortbread Cookies

• servings: 16 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup butter (softened)

1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)

1/2 cup cornstarch (sifted)

2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)

granulated sugar for dusting

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

Sift the powdered sugar and cornstarch into a medium bowl or the stand mixer along with the softened butter. Mix until the butter begins to break up.

Add the flour and mix together until a dough-like consistency forms.

Roll out the dough to a 1/2 inch thickness. Mine measured 11 inches by 6 inches. Cut into fingers or circles. Dock with a fork if you like for that trademark shortbread marking.

Transfer the cut cookies to the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden in color.

Remove from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
