Shortbread

One of the things Charlie likes is shortbread - which is great for me because it is so quick and easy to make!  Flour, butter, sugar pulsed in the food processor, put in a greased pan, bake - done!  Crisp, buttery and sweet. 

 

I have a "shortbread" pan I found at a thrift shop, but you could easily use a round cake pan or a springform pan.  

Shortbread

1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup cold butter
2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Lightly grease a shortbread pan or a round cake pan.  Pulse all ingredients together in food processor - it will be very dusty looking - this is ok.  Dump it all in the prepared pan.  Bake for 30 minutes or until slightly golden brown on edges.  Place on wire rack, and slice into wedges while still warm.  Let cool completely.
