Shortbread cookie dough
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Usually, cookie dough is rolled out no thicker than one centimeter. The thinner the dough is rolled, the more fragile the cookies will be and the less time they will need for baking. You can add vanilla or spices such as cinnamon or ground cloves to this classic dough, according to taste. This will give the baked goods a spicy flavor and a wonderful aroma. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.

Step 1
First, you need to beat the butter. But for this, it must be soft. So before cooking, take it out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes. It will soften faster if you cut it into pieces. Place the butter in a blender and beat well.

Step 2
Then add sugar to the butter and beat again thoroughly until the sugar dissolves slightly. Now you can add the flour. For a smoother and more elastic dough, it's better to sift the flour. You can initially mix the flour with the butter in a blender at low speed.

Step 3
Then remove the dough from the blender with a spoon and knead it slightly by hand to form a ball. The dough needs to be chilled to make it suitable for rolling and shaping cookies. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4
When the dough has cooled, it's ready to be rolled out. To keep the work surface and rolling pin clean, I use plastic wrap for rolling. Simply place the dough on the plastic wrap, cover it with another piece of wrap, and roll it out as usual.
