Yummy Shortbread Recipe

I love shortbread cookies! Here's an easy recipe I just used and they are delicious!

2c butter (softened)
4c flour
1tsp vanilla extract
1c sugar

Cream the butter and sugar, mix vanilla in well, slowly add flour. Mix until dough forms a ball (I had to divide batter in half and hand knead it on a flour covered cutting board). Roll out dough to 1/2 thick and use shape cutters. Bake at 325 for 14-18 minutes.

For half my batch I added dried cranberries and orange zest. This gives the cookies a little pop and a pretty fall-ish look. Enjoy!
