How to Make Shortbread Cookies

• In a bowl sift the flour with salt. Set aside.
• Cream butter, add sugar and beat until its smooth - it takes about 5 mins. Add vanilla essence and mix well.
• Now add flour to the butter-sugar mixture and mix to form a dough.
• Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap in a plastic and refrigerate for an hour.
• On a flat surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes and place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes.
• This will firm up the dough for the cookies to maintain their shape.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 175 degree C for 10 mins.
• Bake the cookies for 12-15 mins.
