ingredients
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature

  • 1/2 cup cornstarch (or more flour)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

directions
  1. Beat the butter and sugar for 5-6 minutes before mixing in the vanilla.
  2. Gently mix in the mixture of the flour, cornstarch, salt, and espresso.
  3. Form the dough into a log, wrap and chill in the fridge for 2+ hours, before slicing into 1/4 inch slices and placing on a parchment paper (or silicon mat) lined baking sheet!
  4. Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until the bottom just starts to brown, about 12 minutes, before removing from the oven and letting cool completely on the baking sheet.

Option: Form the dough into any desired cookie shapes and place on a parchment paper (or silicon mat) lined baking sheet!
Option: Replace some or all of the cornstarch with flour.
Tip: Use a sharp knife, use force, and cut quickly to reduce crumbling when you slice the shortbread dough.
