Brown Sugar Shortbread
INGREDIENTS:
1 stick (4 oz.) unsalted butter, softened
1/3 c. (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 stick (4 oz.) unsalted butter, softened
1/3 c. (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8-inch round cake pan. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add the flour, 1/4 cup at a time. When the dough becomes too stiff to beat, mix by hand.
Transfer to the cake pan. Press flat and prick the surface all over with a fork. Bake for about 50 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Cut into 8 wedges and serve.
