Perfect for pressing into a shortbread mould, this fancy recipe will be a cookie exchange classic.

  • Yields: about 4 dozen cookies
  • Preparation: 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250mL) GAY LEA - Unsalted Butter, softened

  • 3/4 cup (175mL) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups (500mL) all purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300F (140C). Using electric mixer, beat butter with salt and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Using wooden spoon, stir in flour, 1/3 cup (75mL) at a time.
