GG'S SHORTBREAD COOKIES
My husband's grandma has been making these delicious cookies for as long as he can remember. They are a family favorite and by far the best shortbread any of us have ever tasted. They're loaded with butter, dipped in sugar, and baked to a crispy perfection.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Beat butter, 1 1/2 cup white sugar, and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; mix in cornstarch and 2 cups flour. Make a well in the center of the dough; add egg and mix well. Knead the remaining 1 cup flour into dough using your hands until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Roll dough into walnut-sized balls. Pour 1/4 cup white sugar into a bowl; dip top of each ball in sugar. Arrange balls on a baking sheet. Slightly flatten each ball using the bottom of a drinking glass.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges of cookies are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

[email protected]These cookies were a solid 7/10. They were easy to make and tasted good, but they weren't anything special. I'll probably make them again if I'm in a pinch, but I won't go out of my way to make them.

[email protected]Overall, these cookies were pretty good. They were easy to make and had a nice flavor. However, I think they could be improved with a few tweaks.

[email protected]The cookies turned out a bit too crumbly. I think I'll try chilling the dough for longer next time to see if that helps.

[email protected]These cookies were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try adding an extra egg yolk next time to make them more moist.
Martina Arundel
[email protected]I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
