Whipped Shortbread Cookies
Description
This Whipped Shortbread Cookies recipe starts by beating softened butter and powdered sugar for several minutes until light and creamy. The dry ingredients, all-purpose flour and cornstarch, are then folded in gently to retain tenderness. Chilling the dough helps it firm up for easier shaping and prevents spreading.
The dough is divided into balls, pressed with a fork dipped in cornstarch to avoid sticking, then optionally topped with sprinkles. Baking at 300°F (about 150°C) for around 18 minutes allows cookies to set and develop a pale golden hue on the bottom without browning excessively on top.
The finished cookies have a delicate, crumbly texture that melts in the mouth. They are suitable for serving with tea or coffee as a subtle sweet treat that highlights butter's richness. Cooling on the sheet before transferring ensures they hold shape.
Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons butter softened
- 3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand-held electric mixer to beat the butter and powdered sugar for at least 4 minutes.
- Mix in the flour and cornstarch just until combined. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and chill the dough for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 300F.
- Cut the ball of dough into 8 pieces and roll each into a ball. With a fork dipped in cornstarch (to prevent the dough from sticking to the dough), press on the top of each cookie dough ball then top with sprinkles.
- Place the cookies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the cookies at 300F for 18-19 minutes, just until the cookies are set and light golden brown on the bottom. Cool the cookies on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
