Shortbread Cookies From Cake Mix Food

EASY SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add flour and mix until just combined. The cookie dough will be very soft and crumbly. That's the way it's supposed to be!
• Now, you have 2 options: 1) Spread mixture on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper. Poke decorative holes with a fork and bake OR 2) Make cut out shapes like I did by kneading the dough a little and then rolling it between 2 sheets of wax paper. Then, use cookie cutters (like a small rectangle cutter) to cut out shapes. Use a spatula to gently pick them up and place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper and bake.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are firm and slightly golden brown.
• If you went through option 1, remove tray from oven and quickly use a sharp knife to cut rectangle slices. Let the cookies cool down completely then remove from tray and enjoy. If you went through option 2, remove tray from oven and allow the cookies to cool down. Then, enjoy!

User Reviews Reviews for this section have been closed. 5 out of 5 Awesome!, Guest Theresa I doubled the meringue topping and used chocolate chips and a generous drizzle of caramel. The base was a little thin because of the size of the jelly roll pan I used, so next time I think I will make them in a brownie pan and just bake them longer. I greased the pan which made the bars a little soft. No one seemed to mind but I think using waxed paper or parchment underneath would be better. These are a great way to use up whatever you have in the pantry since you can be creative with the toppings.
