I do love a good shortbread at Christmas time. And shortbread makes a really great food gift too for Grandparents and neighbours. This recipe only has three ingredients and is so simple, even the kids could make it.

Ingredients
6 cups Plain flour, sifted
1 cup Caster sugar
500 gram Butter
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
- Add the butter and caster sugar to a mix master or similar and mix on high until creamed and light and fluffy.
- Slowly add the plain flour, a little at a time to the mix. The mixture should resemble a thick dough.
- Place the dough on a floured board and roll out to approximately 4mm thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out any shapes you desire.
- Transfer the cookies to a cookie tray lined with baking paper.
- Cook for 10 – 12 minutes. Remove from the tray and place the cookies on a rack to cool.
Notes
- The dough can be frozen for up to two months. Once mixed, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze (with the use-by date).
