Instructions

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and smooth.

  2. 2

    Gradually stir in the flour until a soft dough forms.

  3. 3

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pat the dough to about 1/3-inch thickness and cut into 1x3-inch strips (or your preferred shape), placing them about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Prick each piece several times with a fork.

  5. 5

    Bake at 300°F (150°C) for about 25 minutes, or until the bottoms just begin to brown.

  6. 6

    Let the shortbread cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
