You Will Love This Shortbread Recipe

I just have this warm and fuzzy feeling that you’re going to love this recipe.

Here’s what you need, and it’s super simp:

• 6 ingredients for your dough PLUS lots of optional add-in’s making it fun and creative
• no rolling pin, no cookie cutters means less clean up
• just one mixing bowl, that’s it!
• you don’t have to chill the dough at all – saves you time
• it’s egg-free and I don’t know about you but I love eggs, they just don’t love me back
• delicious alongside coffee, tea and hot cocoa
• the texture is crumbly and tender
• the taste is canna-buttery and mildly sweet.

6 Ingredients Is All You Need

1. Unsalted Cannabis Butter: as the base for most shortbread recipes, butter makes these cookies soft and perfect. You’ll need to use room-temperature cannabis butter that’s still a little cool to the touch. If it’s too warm, the butter and sugar won’t cream together and you’ll have cookies that are way too dense.
2. Sugar: Keeps the cookies at just the right amount of sweetness.
3. Vanilla: Use only the best possible vanilla you can get your hands on – it really makes all the difference.
4. Salt: a really great balancer in every single baking recipe.
5. All-Purpose Flour: pairing flour with cornstarch really produces a sturdy shortbread cookie but at the same time, keeps it’s tender inside.
6. Cornstarch: the secret to texture! It keeps your cookies extra soft and light.
7. Optional Coarse Sugar Topping: Just before you pop the cookies into the oven, you can add a nice sprinkling of coarse sugar on top. Yum!

Equipment

• 1 large mixing bowl
• measuring cups and spoons
• Whisk and wooden spoon
• 2 x 8 inch cake pans
• Parchment Paper
• Hand mixer or stand mixer

Ingredients

• 1 cup cannabis butter unsalted, room temp
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract no skimping
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup coarse sugar to sprinkle on top after

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper leaving enough overhang around the sides to easily lift shortbread out. 
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat thecannabutter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add the vanilla and salt and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add the flour and cornstarch and beat on low speed for 1 minute as the mixture begins to combine.
• Divide dough in half.

  Press each half of dough into a prepared cake pan. You want it nice and compact in the pans. Sprinkle with optional coarse sugar. Dock the surface all over with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
• Bake the shortbread for 28-30 minutes or until very lightly browned on top and around the edges.
• Let sit on a rack for about 10 minutes before you slice through. Cut it like a pizza, and enjoy!
