shortbread cookies

these cookies looked super simple and tasty.. and they were tasty.. and simple.. but mine were not pretty.. they crumbled a lot when prepping them.. i had to squish them together and then they were not pretty...

shortbread cookies
from bake your day

ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. kosher salt
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup turbinado sugar, for rolling

directions:

In a food processor, combine butter, powdered sugar, and salt and process until smooth. Add the flour and pulse just until the mixture combines. Form the dough into an square log about 8-inches-long; wrap tightly in plastic and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Cut the dough into 1/4-inch-thick slices and roll the edges in the turbinado sugar and place on the cookie sheet. Bake until the cookies are golden brown 17 to 18 minutes. Let cookies cool 5 minutes on the cookie sheet. Cool completely on a wire rack.
