This wonderful brown sugar shortbread is a great cookie recipe for Christmas or any occasion. Dip it in chocolate!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) butter
  • 2 1/4 cups flour, about 10 1/4 ounces

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar and butter; beat with electric mixer until light and creamy. Beat in flour (knead in the last of the flour if the dough is too thick for your mixer); turn out onto a lightly floured surface and roll to 1/4-inch thickness.
  3. Slice or cut out and use a fork to prick the cookies 3 or 4 times.
  4. Arrange the cookies on ungreased baking sheets and bake for 22 to 26 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges.

Notes

Cooking time depends on thickness. Don’t let them brown too much, just lightly around the edges.
