Shortbread Cookies Recipe

The holidays are a busy time and whenever I can save a few minutes it makes a big difference. I try to save time by making simple recipes like these shortbread cookies.

Shortbread Cookies

All you need to make these shortbread cookies is 4 simple ingredients that you can easily pick up at Walmart. Butter, brown sugar, flour, and white sugar are the simple ingredients that make this tasty cookie what it is.

Mix the ingredients in mixer until they form a dough, let them butter reach room temperature before mixing into the dough. You can pop it in the microwave for about 12 seconds to soften it quickly.

Once your dough is mixed perfectly (after about 5 minutes of mixing) wrap the dough and refrigerate for about a half an hour.

This will make the dough easier to work with and allow you to cut your favorite holiday shapes out to make these shortbread cookies really pop!

If you enjoy decorating and making your cookies in fun shapes be sure to add cookie cutters as well as colorful icing to your list before heading to Walmart to pick up your groceries.

Once all of your cookies are the shape you want pop them onto a cookie sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

  3. I haven’t tried using Walmart’s pick up service yet. With snow on the ground, this is the perfect way to pick up those essential items.
