🍃 Delicious Shortbread Cookies That Truly Melt in Your Mouth 🍃

🍪 Instructions

Step 1 — Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2 — Cream the Butter and Sugar

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth, creamy, and pale.

Step 3 — Add Vanilla

Mix in the vanilla extract and a small pinch of salt.

Step 4 — Add the Flour

Gently add the flour and mix until the dough comes together.
Tip: If the dough seems crumbly, keep mixing — it will come together.

Step 5 — Shape the Cookies

Roll the dough into small balls or gently flatten into rounds.
You can also press the dough into a baking pan and slice after baking.

Step 6 — Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Do not overbake — shortbread should stay pale and soft.

Step 7 — Cool and Serve

Let the cookies cool completely — this is when they become perfectly tender and melt-in-your-mouth.
