Simple Shortbread

This is an easy recipe to whip together at a moments notice. It is an excellent carrier for chocolate ganache and candied orange slices (pictured above) or just about anything else your imagination can come up with.

Here ya go:

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup Vanilla Bean Sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line am 8X8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Cream butter and sugar well. Gradually add the flour, kneading until smooth. Press the dough into the bottom of your prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 mins. (If you aren’t planning on getting crazy with chocolate and fruit and nuts as toppings, then I would sprinkle a little Lavender Flower Sugar or Ginger Sugar on top before you bake the shortbread!)

And that’s it, a building block to greatness!!

Stay sweet, friends.
