Butter Swirl Shortbread Cookies Recipe

Baking is my favorite holiday activity with my family, and this year, I’m totally making these goodies from Fifteen Spatulas on Youtube. This cookie recipe is by far the most delicious I’ve tasted, and it’s perfect for the holiday season. It’s easy and fun to make – I’m sure you and your family will also have a good time baking these.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour (mixed with 1/4 tsp of salt)
• 1 tbsp milk

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Next, in a large bowl, put 1 cup or two sticks of room-temperature butter followed by 1 cup of confectioner’s sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, mix everything well until light and fluffy. Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1/4 tsp of salt and continue to mix everything. When the texture started to become crumbly, add 1 tbsp of milk and keep mixing for about 15 seconds or so until the dough starts to look more cohesive.

Step 2

After mixing, take your dough and put it into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe out small swirls of the dough onto a silicone mat-lined baking sheet. Repeat this until you finished all your cookie dough. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven at 350 degrees F and bake for 15 minutes until the cookies are golden on the edges. After baking, let the cookies cool, then serve.
