Flower Shortbread Cookies

These shortbread cookies are shaped like cheerful blossoms and are simple yet elegant!

Ingredients:

• 2 stick unsalted butter (softened)

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

• 2 cups A.P flour

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 tsp salt

• Food coloring of your choice

  
  

Directions:

1. In a bowl, cream butter and powdered sugar until smooth.

2. Add flour, salt, and vanilla, mixing until a dough forms.

3. Divide the dough into two portions:

4. Larger portion: Tint with your food coloring for the petals.

5. Smaller portion: Leave plain for the centers.

6. Roll small colored balls (about 1/2 inch) for the petals and roll slightly smaller plain balls for the centers.

7. Arrange 5 colored balls in a circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet around a plain one and press gently so they stick together.

8. Chill the shaped cookies in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to hold their shape.

9. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but colors remain vibrant.
