These are Delicious buttery cookies that taste just like Panera's shortbread cookies!

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 8
• Yields: 16 Cookies

Ingredients

• 8  ounces butter, room temperature (2 sticks)
• 1⁄2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2  cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients; use hands to knead until ingredients are blended. Press into ungreased pans (or chill and roll out to about 1/2-inch on a floured board and cut into shapes).
2. Before cooking, mark rectangle cookie lines with knife.(I even made diamonds by cutting them on a diagonal to make them look like Panera's!) Bake at 325° for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
