3 INGREDIENT MELT IN YOUR MOUTH SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients and mix for a FULL 10 minutes.
• Yes, I said a full 10 minutes!
• Mixture will start out very dry and crumbly but will become batter like after the full 10 minutes.
• I like to use my stand mixer for this, but a hand mixer will do the trick if it is a strong one.
• Drop from teaspoons or a piping bag onto a cookie sheet, I find teaspoons work best.
• Decorate with maraschino cherries or sprinkles if you feel fancy.
• Bake for approx 15 minutes or until bottoms are very lightly brown.
• Watch that the tops don't turn brown!
