Brooks Breads Cafe Vanilla Shortbread recipe

1/2 pound butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 cups flour

Cream butter in mixer for 2 minutes until creamy. Add sugars and continue to beat. Mix in vanilla extract. Scrape sides of bowl. Fold in flour until just incorporated; do not over-mix. Refrigerate 1-2 hours.

When ready to roll, heat oven to 350 degrees F and flour work surface well. Take a piece of dough and form it into a ball, removing any cracks or seams. Roll out evenly. Use flour liberally, but brush off excess before baking. Cut into desired shapes.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges start turning light brown.
