Pan Shortbread

KennKonn's Note:

This one beats my mom's recipe hands down. I can't even tell you where I found it but I have used it for years

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 48

Yield: 24.0 squares

• 2 cups butter (no substitutes)
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 4 cups all-purpose white flour
• ¼ cup white sugar (or less to sprinkle over the top)

Directions:

1. Mix butter until light and fluffy.
2. Add sugar and beat again till light and fluffy.
3. Sift together flour and corn starch.
4. Add flour/cornstarch to butter/sugar mixture one cup at a time, making sure its well combined before adding another cup.
5. Continue to combine flour into mixture until all is gone. Mix well.
6. Dump dough onto a clean medium sized cookie sheet with sides.
7. Spread out evenly covering the whole sheet. I use a rolling pin and roll it over the top so my finger prints aren't in the dough.
8. Sprinkle 1/4 cup or less of sugar (can use colored sugar), I never measure I just sprinkle until it has a little sparkle.
9. Bake at 325 for approx 20 minutes. My oven cooks really hot so you might have to add a minute or two until edges are light brown.
10. When out of the oven, I cut the square or rectangles through the shortbread. When cooled I often dip one end into melted chocolate and then roll in sprinkles.

I just wanted to thank you for sharing an amazing recipe. I had been trying different shorbread recipes for years and haven't quite found "the one" until now. I made it and my husband cound't stop eating it. I will need to make more. Please if you have anymore killer recipes like this, can you let me know. You helped to ease my Christmas woes this year and added a keeper to my files. You're the best. Thank you.
