Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • Optional: Dark chocolate chunks, sprinkles, melted chocolate for dipping

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:
    In a mixer, combine butter, powdered sugar, and cornstarch. Mix until smooth and creamy. Slowly add the flour and mix until the dough becomes fluffy.
  • Customize the Cookies:
    You can mix in dark chocolate chunks for extra flavor or add sprinkles to the dough. For extra sweetness, dip the cookies in melted chocolate and sprinkle more sprinkles on top after they’ve cooled.
  • Bake:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
  • Cool:
    Carefully transfer the cookies to a cooling rack until they are fully set.
  • Serve & Enjoy:
    Enjoy these melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies with family and friends!

Notes

  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the dough for up to 3 months. Roll into balls before freezing and bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
