Whipped Shortbread Cookies
Bake melt-in-your-mouth Whipped Shortbread Cookies. This classic recipe delivers tender, buttery cookies with a fluffy texture, ready for your favorite sprinkles.
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch plus more for dusting hands
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300F.
- Using your stand mixer if you have one, beat the butter and powdered sugar for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Use a hand mixer if you don’t have a stand mixer.
- Mix in the flour, cornstarch, vanilla and almond extracts.
- Dust your hands with cornstarch to stop the dough from sticking to them.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the dough into your hands and roll into a ball.
- Place onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough.
- Dip a fork into the cornstarch and press down on top of the cookie ball, lightly. Top with sprinkles of your choice.
- Bake for about 15 minutes in the middle of the oven. You want to bring the cookies out before they start to brown.
- Transfer to a cooling rack after about 5 minutes to cool completely.
