Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.
In your mixer beat butter until fluffy.
Add brown sugar and mix well.
Add flour and mix just until a dough forms
Knead until smooth.
Spread into a 9-inch square pan, pressing down firmly or pat 1/3-in.-thick rectangle measuring 11 in. x 8 in
Create as smooth a surface as possible for pretty cookies
Score dough lightly with a knife, marking where you'll cut your cookies.
Pierce the dough with a fork, if desired (it's pretty).
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until shortbread is lightly browned all over.
While the shortbread is still hot, use a sharp knife to cut shortbread all the way through along the lines you scored prior to baking.
Allow shortbread to cool completely once it has been cut.
When cool, shortbread pieces should break apart very easily.
Store in an airtight container.
*optional - dip in melted dark chocolate, Mmmmm
