Shortbread is the most basic cookie there is! This recipe uses real butter and brown sugar for an irresistible flavor. When the cookies are cool, you can dip them in melted chocolate if you like.

Ingredients

2 cups butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
4.5 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

Gather all ingredients.

Beat butter and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Add 3 to 3 3/4 cups flour; mix well.
