Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 260 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams white chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, beating on low speed just until a crumbly dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the white chocolate chips gently with a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Turn the dough out onto a clean, floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Form the dough into a ball and roll it to about 1/4-inch (6 mm) thickness.
Step 8
Using a round or shaped cookie cutter, cut out the shortbread cookies and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. Avoid overbaking to maintain the tender texture.
Step 10
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy them with a warm beverage of your choice!
