3 Ingredient Shortbread Cookies
These 3-Ingredient Shortbread Cookies are buttery, tender, and incredibly easy to make with just butter, powdered sugar, and flour. Perfect for holiday baking or everyday treats, they’re ready in under 30 minutes and can be customized with festive shapes and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar plus more for dusting
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl cream the softened butter with the powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Slowly add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should come together easily without being sticky.
- Roll the dough using powdered sugar to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to create rounds or festive shapes for the holidays.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden.
