4-Ingredient Christmas Shortbread Cookies
1. Prepare the Oven:
• Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
• Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar:
• In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Flour:
• Gradually add the flour, mixing until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing for a tender texture.
4. Shape the Cookies:
• Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Flatten each ball gently with a fork or your palm.
5. Decorate (Optional):
• Sprinkle with festive sprinkles or colored sugar for a holiday touch before baking.
