Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 80 grams Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Dairy-free butter substitute
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, and salt.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the dairy-free butter substitute until soft and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick.
Cut the dough into rectangular fingers, approximately 1 inch wide by 3 inches long.
Arrange the shortbread fingers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each.
Using a fork, gently prick the top of each finger a few times to prevent the dough from rising unevenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the shortbread fingers to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
