The ingredients for Shortbread Cut Out Cookies are:

Sugar Cookies:
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioner?s sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract (or any other flavoring)
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt

Here is how you make Shortbread Cut Out Cookies:

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and blend well. Add extract and blend. Mix flour and salt and gradually add. Cover dough with plastic wrap (we usually put ours in a gallon size Ziploc bag) and chill dough for about 2 hours. Working with about 1/3 of the batch at a time, briefly knead the chilled dough and roll about 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out shapes. Bake cut out cookies on parchment lined cookie sheets at 375 for 12-14 minutes.You can also freeze the dough. After mixing, put dough in a gallon size Freezer ziploc bag (or wrap well) and freeze. Thaw overnight or for at least a few hours in the refrigerator in the ziploc bag. If too chilled to handle, let sit at room temperature for about 1/2 hour to 1 hour until it?s workable. Chilled is good, though, don?t let it get too warm and soft.Serving Size: 36 cookiesNumber of Servings: 36Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SINCOCK24.
