I decided to try this recipe and the results were amazing. One bite of this shortbread and I wanted another one. I decided to split a piece with the children to justify getting another one. That was so kind of me. :)
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients
2 cups of cake flour
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
1/4 salt
1 cup butter (at room temperature)
1/3 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of powdered sugar
Direction:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch and salt until well blended.
2. Beat the butter until creamy. Beat the granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary.
3. Add the flour mixture in 2 or 3 additions until it forms a soft dough.
4. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
5. After 30 minutes preheat the oven to 350*F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or leave ungreased.
6 On a light floured surface, roll the dough out to 3/4 inch-thick stab, about 5x8 inches.
7. Gently lift the dough and transfer onto the baking sheet. Baked for about 40 minutes. Slip the parchment paper with the shortbread onto a hard surface. Immediately sprinkle the shortbread heavily with the powdered sugar.
8. While it's still warm, gently cut into 1 and 1/2 inch squares. Let it cool completely.
The shortbread taste best at room temperature.
I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine did.
