Shortbread Cookie Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix well to combine.

Add flour and mix until the dough fully combines. Add milk as needed until the dough reaches the consistency of Play-Doh.

Scoop the dough into a cookie press. Hold the cookie press down on an ungreased, unlined baking sheet and press to form cookies.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, until very lightly golden on the bottom.

Let cookies sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then remove to a rack to cool.
