How to Make a Homemade 3 Ingredient Shortbread Cookie

1 cup of softened butter
½ cup of powdered sugar, sifted (plus a little more for dusting counter)
2 cups of all-purpose flour.

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add in the flour and mix until the dough just comes together.

Turn dough onto powdered sugar dusted counter and roll gently in a log about 2 inches wide. Then, wrap cookie dough with plastic wrap and allow it to firm in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, but you can make it ahead for up to 3 days.

Once the dough is firm, slice the cookies into ¼-inch thick rounds and place them on a baking tray for 18-20 minutes or until just golden. Cool slightly, then transfer to a cookie rack until completely cooled.
