Brown Sugar Shortbread

By , About.com Guide

I can always make these easy little cookies with the ingredients in my pantry. They're rich, crisp, and so simple to make.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter (NO substitutes), softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups flour

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. In large bowl, beat butter until fluffy. Add brown sugar and mix well. Then add flour and mix just until a dough forms. Divide dough into 2 balls and pat each into a 1/2" thick 7" round on an ungreased cookie sheet. Prick each with fork. Bake at 300 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove to wire rack to cool. Cut each round into eight wedges to serve. 16 cookies
