I love shortbread. I think it’s one of the most delicious style of cookies. I came across a recipe for a simple 3 ingredient version but I felt the need to amp it up. So I added Bergamot, which is the main ingredient in Earl Grey tea. It really adds a unique flavor. Enjoy.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter @ room temp
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp bergamot
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

Preheat your oven to 325 .

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the flour until well combined.

Press the dough, which will be very still, into an ungreased 9″ square baking pan.

Back 30-35 mins or until light brown. Allow to cool slightly, but are still pretty warm, then cut them into squares*. Dust with powered sugar and enjoy!

*So why cut them while warm? It you let them completely cool they’ll break when cutting. If they’re still warm they’re a lot less likely to do so as they haven’t set (hardened).
