Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour
  • ½ cup pinipig, toasted and crushed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 300 F.
  2. Lightly grease a springform or round pan.
  3. In a bowl, beat together butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy.
  4. Add flour and pinipig and continue to beat to a stiff dough.
  5. With hands, gently press the dough into the prepared baking pan. Using the back of a spoon, gently smooth the surface of the dough. Using a fork, prick the dough all over.
  6. Bake in a 300 F oven for about 25 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned on the top surface and a slightly deeper brown around the edges.
  7. Remove from oven and immediately turn out onto a flat surface. With a knife or pizza wheel cut the shortbread into 12 wedges.

Notes

  • If the dough feels too dry, add another 1 tablespoon of softened butter or drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of water until it holds together.
  • Use the tines of a fork to prick the dough all over to allow the steam to escape and keep the shortbread from bubbling during baking.
  • Slice the shortbread immediately while warm, as it will be harder to cut when cooled. Use a sharp knife or a pizza wheel.
