Instructions:
👨🍳 1) Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together warm butter and sugar until well combined. Add the packet of vanilla, egg, and liquid vanilla, and mix thoroughly. Gradually add the flour into the mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms.
👨🍳 2) Chill and Preheat: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm it up. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
👨🍳 3) Roll and Cut Out Shapes: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use star-shaped cookie cutters to cut out the shortbread shapes. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
👨🍳 4) Bake the Shortbreads: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn slightly golden.
👨🍳 5) Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the shortbreads from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container until ready to serve or gift.
