Easy Slice-and-Bake Vanilla Shortbread Cookies
Today, I want to share my easy and crunchy shortbread vanilla cookies. This is my Easy Cinnamon Cookies’ vanilla version in slice and bake form.
If you like cakey, puffy vanilla cookies, you can make my cakey vanilla cookies. But today’s post is crunchy vanilla cookies with 4 ingredients: flour, butter, sugar and vanilla. I mix all the ingredients, divide the dough in half, make logs out of them, keep them almost 40 minutes in the freezer until they are firm and bake for 12-14 minutes. These easy vanilla cookies give you the crunchiness. If you don’t want to keep them in the freezer and want to bake immediately, instead of slice-and-bake, you can make these cookies just like my Easy Cinnamon Cookies; roll the dough into balls, flatten the balls and give a shape with a fork, or just flatten the balls. I strongly suggest you dip these cookies into melted white chocolate-so YUMMY!
Below you can see how I make my easy vanilla cookies with my stand mixer. (You can check my almond shortbread cookies post to make it without a mixer.)
First, I put the butter in the bowl of my stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until it is soft. Then I add the sugar and cream until the butter and sugar mixture is light and fluffy. After butter and sugar are creamed well, I add the vanilla and mix. Finally, I add in the flour and mix until totally combined. During these processes, when needed, I stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl again. The dough looks like crumbles but I use my hand to bring the dough together.
Then I take the dough from the bowl and divide it in two and make logs out of them. I give rectangular shape and cover with plastic film. Then my niece helps me-rolling and making logs out of the doughs with her little hands ❤( She also takes some of the pictures for this post :)) I keep the logs in the freezer for 40 minutes until they are firm. Alternatively, you can keep them in the fridge 4-5 hours until they are firm enough.
