Usually shortbread is so hard, I like this recipe because the shortbread comes out nice and soft. The secret is not to overbake it. If you like things soft, always underbake it, that's why Mrs. Field's was so successful. I like it this way.
Ingredients
1 cup cold butter, cubed
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
salt
1 tbsp cold water
1 tsp vanilla
Recipe
- Mix the ingredients together
- Knead with your hands
- Cover in saran wrap
- Put in fridge for 1 hour
- Take out of fridge
- Roll out with rolling pin
- Cut whatever shape you want
- Bake 325 for 15 minutes
- After cools down, spread filling like an oreo, and create a shortbread sandwich!
(I used my apple strudel filling. Note that this is used in so many of my recipes. You can make a batch, and put it in the freezer, and just take out what you need and use in countless dishes)
