Pan Shortbread

5 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups butter (no substitutes)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 4 cups all-purpose white flour
  • 1/4 cup white sugar (or less to sprinkle over the top)

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix butter until light and fluffy.
  2. 2
    Add sugar and beat again till light and fluffy.
  3. 3
    Sift together flour and corn starch.
  4. 4
    Add flour/cornstarch to butter/sugar mixture one cup at a time, making sure its well combined before adding another cup.
  5. 5
    Continue to combine flour into mixture until all is gone. Mix well.
  6. 6
    Dump dough onto a clean medium sized cookie sheet with sides.
  7. 7
    Spread out evenly covering the whole sheet. I use a rolling pin and roll it over the top so my finger prints aren't in the dough.
  8. 8
    Sprinkle 1/4 cup or less of sugar (can use colored sugar), I never measure I just sprinkle until it has a little sparkle.
  9. 9
    Bake at 325 for approx 20 minutes. My oven cooks really hot so you might have to add a minute or two until edges are light brown.
  10. 10
    When out of the oven, I cut the square or rectangles through the shortbread. When cooled I often dip one end into melted chocolate and then roll in sprinkles.
