Ingredients:
For Shortbread Cookies
1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
For Icing
1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
1-2 tbsp milk or water
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Food coloring (optional)
Directions:
For Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together.
Roll the dough to about ¼ inch thick on a lightly floured surface and cut out shapes using cookie cutters.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool completely before icing.
For Icing
Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk/water in a small bowl until smooth.
Add vanilla extract and food coloring, if desired.
Adjust consistency by adding more milk (for thinner icing) or powdered sugar (for thicker icing).
Use a spoon or piping bag to ice the cooled cookies. Let the icing set before serving.
Enjoy your delicious shortbread cookies!
