Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature, high quality
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 1 inch overhang on two sides for easy removal. Set aside.
- Add the flour, sugar and salt to a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Press the dough into the prepared pan and chill for 20-30 minutes.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top begins to turn golden brown. Let rest out of the oven for 5-10 minutes before pricking with a fork in about 6 rows. Carefully lift the warm shortbread out of the pan and cut into 12 pieces, using the fork marks as a guide.
- Let cool completely before serving.
