Maple Shortbread
Servings 16 cookies
These melt in your mouth Maple Shortbread Cookies are buttery, with just a touch of maple sugar to add a little more sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons maple sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F, and prepare an 8 X 8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment. It will allow you to lift the shortbread out of the pan and slice it easily and neatly on a cutting board.
- Cream together the butter, powdered sugar and maple sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Whisk the flour, cornstarch and salt together, then add to butter mixture. Beat for 1 minute on low in a mixer, then increase the speed to medium-high for 2 minutes.
- Press the batter into an even layer in the prepared pan and bake for 20 - 25 minutes until top and edges are lightly golden.
- Allow to cool to room temperature in the pan before removing the shortbread in the parchment and slicing into sticks.
Notes
There is a subtle maple syrup flavor in these cookies. If you want a stronger flavor, I suggest using 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and increasing the maple sugar to 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon.
Adding any extract to increase the flavor will change the consistency of the shortbread.
