EASY 3 INGREDIENT SHORTBREAD RECIPE

I just love Christmas baking, and find it such a great way to get into the Christmas spirit.  While I do LOVE my classic Shortbread recipe, this easy 3 Ingredient Shortbread version is another great Christmas baking option.

I know this is a ‘traditional’ recipe for Shortbread, however it really is a great recipe to make when you have limited supplies, and it’s also perfect for the kids to help you with.  You can certainly use any type of biscuit cutter that you like when making this Shortbread, however the cooking time will vary so make sure you keep a close eye on it while it’s in the oven.


When making this recipe (especially if it’s warm) I like to divide the dough in half and pop the half that I’m not using into the fridge to keep it chilled.  On really hot days, I try to make this recipe early in the morning or with the air conditioner on as due to the high butter content, it can become quite soft when you are working with it if you are not careful.  This 3 Ingredient Shortbread makes a great snack to have on hand if unexpected visitors drop by and it also makes a great homemade gift for Teachers, friends and family.

Ingredients

  • 250 grams butter softened
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 3 cups plain flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 160 degrees and line two trays with baking paper.
  2. Place the softened butter and caster sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer and mix on a medium speed for 5 - 7 minutes or until the mixture is light and creamy.
  3. Reduce the speed of the mixer to slow, and gradually add the flour ½ a cup at a time. Mix for a further 30 seconds or until the mixture begins to resemble a dough.
  4. Turn the mixture onto a lightly floured bench and gently bring it together to form a ball with your hands.
