  • 3/4 /4 cup confectioners sugar whisked
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300º F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 10-inch tart pan. Set aside.
  2. Cream butter and sugar until it is smooth and well-combined, not fluffy, about 3 minutes on medium speed with an electric mixer.
  3. Add flour and salt to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until just combined.
  4. Press shortbread dough into the bottom of tart pan. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and pat the dough until it is smooth. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove from the refrigerator and cut a hole in the center of the dough with a small round cookie cutter, approximately 1-inch in diameter. Discard the round.
  6. Cut dough into wedges and prick the dough all over with a large bamboo skewer. Bake for 1 hour or until the shortbread is firm has turned a golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before removing.
