Sometimes it's best to stick with what works, rather than try something new.Today I wanted to bake some shortbread and thought I'd look for a new recipe, just in case my tried and true recipe wasn't as good as others out there.
Although this new recipe wasn't as good as mine, the cookies are still flaky and crumbly as a good shortbread should be. The problem is in the flavor...there isn't any. If you make this recipe I strongly suggest adding a teaspoon or so of vanilla or almond extract - perhaps a dip in some melted chocolate would be a welcome addition, also.

Uncle Bill's Whipped Shortbread Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup icing sugar
Preheat oven to 350.
Blend ingredients and press into 9x13 baking dish that has been lightly buttered. Bake for approximately 14 minutes, until bottoms are lightly golden brown - it is imperative that you do not over bake.
Remove from oven and slice into squares or cut out with cookie cutter while still warm, but let cool in baking dish for about 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
