Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 50 grams Splenda granular sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and Splenda granular sweetener. Use an electric mixer or whisk to cream them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the butter mixture, stirring until combined.
Step 4
Gradually sift the all-purpose flour into the bowl, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
Step 5
Once the dough comes together, transfer it onto a clean surface and lightly knead it into a smooth ball. If the dough feels too sticky, dust it with a small amount of flour.
Step 6
Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or knife to shape the dough into your desired pieces (traditional rectangles or circles work well).
Step 7
Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between each piece.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The shortbread should remain pale overall.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, serve and enjoy your Slightly Sinful Shortbread Splenda with tea or coffee!
