Shortbread Cookies
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ tsp. salt
½ cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
¾ tsp. salt
½ cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Add-ins:
Chopped walnuts or almonds
Orange zest
Dried cranberries, roughly chopped
Dried cherries, roughly chopped
Chocolate chips
Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the salt, flour, and vanilla. On a sheet of waxed or parchment paper, roll the dough into a log.
Roll the dough in your choice of add-ins, or add them to the batter. I put in orange zest, a little orange juice, and chopped cranberries to one batch, and chopped cherries, chocolate chips, and about 1/4 tsp. almond extract to another... and rolled it in slivered almonds. Roll up in the parchment, and refrigerate for an hour or so.
Slice, and bake at 325* for about 25 minutes, until browned. Mmm... mmm... mmm!
