KING ARTHUR SHORTBREAD RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:
- 1) Preheat the oven to 300°F. Lightly grease two round 9" cake pans. If you worry about the shortbread possibly sticking in your particular pans, line them with parchment, and grease the parchment. 2) In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, vanilla, then beat in the flour. The mixture may seem a little dry at first; keep beating till it comes together. If it absolutely won't come together, dribble in up to 1 tablespoon of water, until it does. This is a stiff dough. 3) Divide the dough in half, and press each half into one of the prepared pans, smoothing the surface with your fingers, or with a mini rolling pin. 4) Use a fork to prick the dough all over; this allows any steam to escape, and prevents the shortbread from bubbling as it bakes. Prick the dough in a random pattern, but it looks nicer pricked with some kind of symmetry. 5) Bake the shortbread until it's a light golden brown across the top surface, and a deeper golden brown around the edges, about 35 minutes. 6) Remove it from the oven, and immediately turn each shortbread round out onto a clean work surface. 7) Using a pizza wheel or sharp knife, cut each round into 12 wedges. (Do this while the shortbread is still warm; if you wait until it's cool, it won't cut easily.) Transfer the shortbread wedges to a rack to cool. 8) Serve as is, or decorate. Here are a few suggestions: Drizzle with melted caramel; Spread with melted chocolate, and sprinkle with nuts; Set aside two shortbread cookies, and spread the remainder of the cookies with a thick layer of jam or preserves. Crumble the reserved cookies, and sprinkle the crumbs lightly over the jam.
ROSEMARY SHORTBREAD
This basic, buttery shortbread practically begs that you customize it to suit your own tastes or pantry supplies. The dough, which comes together quickly in a food processor, is already enhanced with rosemary, but nuts, seeds, citrus zest, spices, vanilla or minced dried fruit - or a combination of some of these - all make fine additions. Scale it up, scale it down. Add more salt, or use less. As long as you maintain the butter-flour ratio (one stick of butter for every cup of flour), you are free to play around. But the shortbread is delicious all on its own: tender, rich, crumbly, irresistible.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, rosemary and salt. Add butter, and honey if desired, and pulse to fine crumbs. Pulse a few more times until some crumbs start to come together, but don't overprocess. Dough should not be smooth.
- Press dough into an ungreased 8- or 9-inch-square baking pan or 9-inch pie pan. Prick dough all over with a fork. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes for 9-inch pan, 45 to 50 minutes for 8-inch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut into squares, bars or wedges while still warm.
SHORTBREAD JAMMERS
With a shortbread base, these pretty cookies are akin to a linzer but a whole lot easier to make-- people will think you've gone through a lot more fuss than you actually have. Use a thick, quality jam or preserve but not jelly, which is too runny. Rice flour in the dough helps keep the cookie very tender, but it's fine to use all-purpose flour in its place.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly butter a 8-by-8-inch baking dish. In the bowl of a standing mixer (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar at medium speed for about 3 minutes. Add the salt and vanilla and continue to beat until well combined. Add the flours and continue to beat until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface. Prick it with a fork in about 20 places. Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden around the edges. Slide a dull knife along the edges. Cool for 5 minutes.
- Carefully turn the slab of shortbread out onto a clean surface. With a knife, trim 1 inch from one of the sides. Crumble the trimmings into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Cut the rest of the shortbread into 16 squares and allow to cool.
- Spread a thick layer of jam on each square, and then sprinkle with the crumbs. Layered between plastic wrap or wax paper in an airtight container, the cookies will keep for 3 to 4 days.

KING ARTHUR FLOUR'S RECIPE FOR SHORTBREAD
This was featured in an email today from the www.kingarthurflour.com website. Shortbread is a wonderful starting point for all kinds of sweet adventures: top it (nuts, chocolate, jam); flavor it (lemon, hazelnut, coconut); or do both (cappuccino with a mocha ganache drizzle, anyone?). Then again, if you're a "make mine vanilla, please" kind of guy or gal, leave it alone; it can stand on its own in perfect simplicity. Our guarantee: This light-gold, crisp/flaky shortbread is buttery and mildly sweet. It will be about 1/4" thick. Tips from our bakers A scale is handy for dividing shortbread dough in equal halves. Each half of dough in the above recipe will weigh about 10 1/2 ounces. If you're having trouble pressing the shortbread flat in the pan because it's sticking to your fingers, cover it with a piece of plastic wrap, and push on the wrap. Remove the wrap before baking. DO cut the shortbread into wedges while it's still warm! Waiting till it's cool will result in crumbled, misshapen shortbread. Although we usually use unsalted butter in our baking here at King Arthur, in this case salted is preferred. Why? Because, with no liquid in the recipe, it's impossible for added salt to disperse itself fully through the shortbread dough; you end up with unpleasantly gritty bits of salt in each bite.

- To brown the butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, the butter will start to sizzle and may spatter.

- Remove the pan from the heat and pour the butter into a heatproof bowl. Cool the butter slightly at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill until it solidifies but isn’t rock-hard, about 30 minutes. , To make the shortbread: Preheat the oven to 400°F.
