Shortbread for the Soul
Shortbread, the cookie of the gods. A crumbly, buttery, soul-crushing delight that'll make you question your life choices.
A classic shortbread recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter, softened (don't even think about it)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (white, not whole wheat, you savage)
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar (the good stuff)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for when you're feeling extra)
- 1/2 tsp salt (to represent the tears you'll cry over your diet)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (for the soul-crushing)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (that's like 150°C, you math wizards)
- Cream the butter and sugar together until it's like a fluffy white cloud
- Whisk in the flour like you're trying to escape the existential dread
- Pour the batter into a greased-up pan, like you're trying to grease up your life
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown
- Let it cool, then slice it up into pieces of your broken dreams
Enjoy your perfectly imperfect shortbread, a cookie that'll haunt you for the rest of your days.
