    • 4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🧈 2 cups butter at room temperature

  • Sweetener

    • 🍚 1 cup white sugar

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking pan.

2

Mix flour (4 cups and 2 tablespoons), butter, and white sugar using your hands until completely combined. Spread dough into a prepared baking pan, cover with waxed paper, and press firmly into the pan. Prick the dough through the wax paper with a fork and remove the wax paper.

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the pan from the oven, cut the shortbread into 1-inch squares, and return the pan to the oven to cool completely with the oven turned off.

4

Sprinkle colored sugar over the shortbread squares, remove from the pan, and store in an airtight container.
