At Wendy Masters' Grand Valley, Ontario home, it just wouldn't' be Christmas if she didn't make her great-grandmother's shortbread. Everyone looks forward to it, she says. All I do differently is sprinkle colored sugar on mine. Ingredients:
2 cups butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
colored sugar, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour; mix until dough forms a ball.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut into 1-1/2-in. squares, diamonds and/or triangles. Place on ungreased baking sheets; sprinkle with colored sugar if desired.
3. Bake at 325° for 14-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen.
