These shortbread bars is one of my all-time favorite recipes... I find that baking shortbread in a baking pan somehow produces a flakier, richer cookie...I'm sure you will enjoy these as much as we do. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened (no substitutions) |
1/2 cup icing sugar (confectioners) |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
additional icing sugar, for dusting |
Directions:
1. Set oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Prepare an ungreased 11 x 7-inch baking pan.
3. In a mixing bowl cream butter and sugar well.
4. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.
5. Spread into a prepared ungreased baking pan.
6. Prick well several times with a fork.
7. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges just begin to brown.
8. Remove from oven the dust with more icing sugar.
9. Cool on wire rack.
10. Cut into bars.
