Cooking Session #17 - Whipped Shortbread

(pour la recette en français, cliquer ici. ) Whipped Shortbread 3 cups unsalted butter, softened 1 1⁄2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted 4 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour* 1 1⁄2 cups cornstarch or potato starch Optional: sprinkles, colorful candies, melted chocolate, jam for toppings and fillings *Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained.

Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, sift together flour and cornstarch. In three additions, gradually mix dry ingredients into butter and sugar mixture. Do not chill the dough at this point! Scoop dough by the tablespoon and roll into a ball with palms. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving 1-inch between each cookie. Press lightly with a fork dipped in flour
