Ingredients
Shortbread Cookie
2
cups
flour
2
tbsp
cornstarch
¼
tsp
salt
1
cup
butter
½
cup
sugar
1
tsp
vanilla
½
cup
Jam or curd
I used lemon curd and Christmas jam
Glaze
1
cup
powdered sugar
3
tsp
milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350º
Whisk flour, cornstarch, and salt together; set aside
In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar; add vanilla
Add flour mixture in two batches and continue beating at low speed
Once dough comes together, shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on parchment lined baking sheet
Using a teaspoon or your thumb, make an indent in each dough ball deep enough to hold filling
Refrigerate for about an hour
Once chilled, fill each indent with jam (if you use lemon curd, chocolate, or caramel then fill the cookies after they are baked and cool)
Bake for 13 minutes or until edges are lightly browned
Combine powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze. Drizzle the glaze on cookies
