Whipped Shortbread Cookies

Buttery, whipped shortbread cookies that are easy to make and require no chilling. They are light, airy, and melt-in-your-mouth soft.

  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 36 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and ½ Cups room temperature butter (salted)
  • ¾ Cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 and ¼ Cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ Cup cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • ¼ Cup sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  3. Gradually add flour and cornstarch with the mixer on low speed.
  4. Scoop dough into balls and roll each briefly between your palms.
  5. Place balls on a prepared baking sheet about 1-2 inches apart.
  6. Use a fork to gently flatten each cookie.
  7. Top with sprinkles if desired.
  8. Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly golden.

Notes

Ensure the butter is softened but not overly soft to prevent cookies from spreading too much. Chilling the dough for a couple of hours can enhance the texture and taste.
