Whipped Shortbread Cookies

These whipped shortbread cookies are light, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. With a tender crumb and festive sprinkles, they’re perfect for holiday gatherings or as a cozy treat anytime.

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

Sprinkles (for decorating)

Directions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.

Beat Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together for at least 5 minutes, until very fluffy and aerated.

Mix in Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.

Form the Cookies: Dust your hands with cornstarch, then shape the dough into small balls, using about 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie.

Press and Decorate: Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets. Press down the top of each cookie gently with a fork dipped in cornstarch to prevent sticking. Add a few sprinkles on top of each cookie.

Bake: Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the tops look set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
