Looking for something easy to bake this week, I just wasn’t in a baking mood. Plus we still had some of those cookies from last week.
I started looking around Food Network’s site and ran across Ina Garten’s short bread cookie recipe. Not many ingredients so I decided to go with it. Glad I did too, these are yummy! I didn’t make them a whole lot because the dough made SO much. I am going to make thumb print cookies from the rest of it!
What do you need?
- 3/4 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
What will you do?
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together your butter and sugar, be sure not to over mix here.
- In separate medium bowl, sift together your flour and salt. Add to your butter/sugar mixture. Mix together until the dough nearly starts to come together.
- Dump onto a surface that has been dusted with flour and form into a flat disc. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough into 1/2 inch thick and use a 3 by 1-inch finger-shaped cutter. (I just used what I had on hand here and also just used the pizza cutter to slice a few out) Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges begin to brown.
Excuse the horrible picture…The kids had my camera last and I didn’t realize the lens was so dirty until I uploaded these…I would have retaken the photo but the kids ate all the cookies!

I love Ina - wouldn't you love to just go stay at her house for the weekend?? She seems like she would be the perfect hostess - and we know we'd eat well! These cookies sound really easy and I like easy, so I'll have to give them a try. Have a great day ~ ♥
