Girl Scout Cookies' Shortbread Cookies

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Butter-flavored shortening
1 cup	198g / 7oz	Powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Vanilla
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Salt
2 tablespoons	30ml	Beaten egg
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Baking soda
2 tablespoons	30ml	Buttermilk
1 1/2 cups	93g / 3.3oz	All-purpose flour - plus
		An extra 1/4 cup reserved for rolling
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Baking powder

Recipe Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, sugar, vanilla, and salt with an electric mixer. Add the egg and beat mixture until it's fluffy. Add the baking soda and mix for about 20 seconds, then add the buttermilk and mix for an additional 30 seconds.

In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well with an electric mixer until flour is incorporated. Roll the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap and then chill it for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll dough out on a well-floured surface to 1/8-inch thick and punch out cookies with a 1 1/2- to 2-inch cutter (a medium-size spice bottle lid works well).

Arrange cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

This recipe yields 60 cookies.
