Simple Cookie

A shortbread cookie is probably the simplest cookie there is.

Butter, flour and sugar, that’s it.

They are a very delicate cookie, but have a lovely buttery flavor despite their simplicity. I love them!

Usually shortbread is cut into rectangles. I don’t know why, but that does seem to be the way they are cut.

I shook things up a bit and used a snowflake cutter for half my dough. I cut the remaining half into the rectangles.

It worked either way. Although, the snowflakes needed a touch less cooking time. Those took about 8 minutes. The rectangles about 10.

These cookies are great as they are. I do have a friend that sprinkles the tops with chocolate and that is amazing too!
