This one beats my mom's recipe hands down. I can't even tell you where I found it but I have used it for years

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 35m

Yield 24-48 squares, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups butter (no substitutes)
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 cups all-purpose white flour
1/4 cup white sugar (or less to sprinkle over the top)

Steps:

  • Mix butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add sugar and beat again till light and fluffy.
  • Sift together flour and corn starch.
  • Add flour/cornstarch to butter/sugar mixture one cup at a time, making sure its well combined before adding another cup.
  • Continue to combine flour into mixture until all is gone. Mix well.
  • Dump dough onto a clean medium sized cookie sheet with sides.
  • Spread out evenly covering the whole sheet. I use a rolling pin and roll it over the top so my finger prints aren't in the dough.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup or less of sugar (can use colored sugar), I never measure I just sprinkle until it has a little sparkle.
  • Bake at 325 for approx 20 minutes. My oven cooks really hot so you might have to add a minute or two until edges are light brown.
  • When out of the oven, I cut the square or rectangles through the shortbread. When cooled I often dip one end into melted chocolate and then roll in sprinkles.
