Many months ago Portland Firefly promised to post the recipe for Shortbread Cookies. My Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma diagnosis sort of sidetracked me. As you know, I have started to feel a bit better and so here is the recipe.
Shortbread Cookies
1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoon sugar
½ cup butter
In a mixing bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in butter till mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling. Form the mixture into a ball and knead till smooth.
Roll out to about ½ thickness on a lightly floured surface. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a 325* oven 20-25 minutes, or until bottoms just start to brown.
Buttercream Frosting
½ Cup butter
1 ½ Cup confectioner’s sugar
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Beat room-temp butter until light and fluffy. On med speed, beat in sugar, ½ cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down bowl as necessary. Mix in vanilla. Increase speed to high, and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. (makes 1 ½ cups)
