Whipped Shortbread Cookies (4 Ingredients)
Description
Whipped Shortbread Cookies (4 Ingredients) mix basic pantry staples—flour, softened butter, sugar, and cornstarch—into a batter whipped for at least 10 minutes to achieve a light, fluffy consistency. After portioning the dough with a cookie scoop onto a lined baking sheet, the cookies are baked at 300°F for 20 to 25 minutes until the bottoms turn golden, which signals they are done. The result is a shortbread cookie with a tender, almost melt-in-the-mouth texture. Adding sprinkles before baking is optional for extra visual appeal.
Because the dough is whipped extensively, the cookies are aerated, granting them a lighter texture than typical shortbread. They hold their shape well during baking but remain soft. These are a straightforward biscuit for occasions requiring a buttery treat without many ingredients or fuss.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 2 cups butter softened at room temperature, unsalted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup cornstarch
Instructions
- Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, combine softened butter, flour, cornstarch, and sugar. Beat the batter for at least 10 minutes, or until you get a very air, fluffy consistency.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out the cookie dough, placing the pieces on a lined baking sheet as you go. If you wish, add sprinkles to the top of each cookie.
- Bake the cookies at 300°F for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bottoms turn golden brown. Let the cookies rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
