Christmas Shortbread Cookies

Method

1. 1

   Turn the oven on to 350°F and preheat it. Put parchment paper on two baking sheets. Place them aside. Mix butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until well combined.

2. 2

   Combine all-purpose flour and salt in another bowl and add them to the butter mixture. Stir with a spatula until you get a stiff dough.

3. 3

   Cut two pieces of parchment paper and place the dough in between them. Use a rolling pin to extend the dough to ⅓ inch thick. Next, refrigerate it for 2 hours.

4. 4

   Then, use a 2 ¼’’ (6cm) cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

5. 5

   Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes or until lightly golden on the edges. Let them cool completely before the next step.

6. 6

   In the meantime, melt white chocolate in the microwave or over a water bath.

7. 7

   Coat each cookie with melted chocolate and spread sprinkles before it hardens. Let the chocolate harden over a cooling rack.
