Lemon Whipped Shortbreads

Products Used

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch, plus extra for dusting hands
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • *Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large bowl beat butter and powdered sugar for 3 minutes, until light and airy. Beat in flour, cornstarch, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, until well combined. Dough will be very soft.
  3. Dust your hands with cornstarch, then form dough into balls about 1 tablespoon in size and roll into a ball.
  4. Place on lined cookie sheets, leaving a little room for spreading. Dip a fork in cornstarch (to prevent sticking) and press tongs of fork on top of each cookie to flatten lightly.
  5. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until tops look just set. Cookies will not brown, but will be done. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a cookie cooling rack to finish cooling.
  6. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
