Shortbread Bites

Delightful and buttery, these shortbread bites are perfect for a quick treat or a lovely gift. Their melt-in-your-mouth texture and simple flavor make them a timeless classic.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet

Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in a bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

Mix in the vanilla extract until it's well mixed in

Add the flour and salt to the butter and sugar mixture little by little

Mix the dough until it holds together

Take little balls of dough and roll them into shapes that are easy to eat

Leave a little space between each dough ball when you put them on the baking sheet that has been prepared

To make a crisscross pattern, gently press down on each dough ball with a fork

After the oven is hot, bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown

After taking the shortbread bites out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way down

The shortbread bites are ready to eat once they have cooled down
