Healthy Fact of the Day

Whipped Shortbread Cookies, when enjoyed in moderation, provide a deliciously buttery treat for the holiday season.

Ingredients

 

 

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Maraschino cherries or festive sprinkles for decoration (optional)

 

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch.

  4. Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.

  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, combining until the dough comes together.

  6. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the dough on medium-high speed for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes light and airy.

  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of the whipped shortbread dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  8. If desired, press a maraschino cherry half into the center of each cookie or decorate with festive sprinkles.

  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  11. Store your Whipped Shortbread Cookies in an airtight container.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
