Shortbread Cookies

Essential Everyday

1 cup butter, softened

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup powdered sugar

¼ cup corn starch

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon lemon zest

Place butter in a large mixing bowl; using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until creamed and fluffy.

Reduce mixer to low and add in remaining ingredients; beat 1 minute. Increase speed to high and beat 3-4 minutes, scraping bowl often.

Drop by tablespoons, 2-inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheet. 

It's a unique dough texture - very fluffy.


Bake in a preheated 375F oven 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

They're not the world's prettiest cookies, but sometimes it's all about taste.


My Rating: 4/5 "I should preface this review by saying that I had no sense of smell when I made these because of a stupid cold. However! The texture was still nice and light and airy after baking, and people told me the lemon zest was a nice addition to your usual shortbread cookie."
