Whipped Shortbread Cookies
Whipped Shortbread Cookies are a classic holiday cookie that are always a hit. They are easy to make, melt-in-your-mouth with every bite and are perfect for cookie exchanges. I love how light and buttery they are and prefer them over the traditional shortbread cookie.

They don’t have a ton of weird ingredients either. It’s only butter, powdered sugar, salt, cornstarch and flour. Doesn’t sound like very much, right?
This recipe makes a batch of 18 cookies. You can easily double or triple the recipe if you are baking for a cookie exchange or want to make extra to put in the freezer for Christmas.
I’d love to get back into holiday cookie exchanges again. I did it one year and ended up with so many delicious varieties of cookies. I had more cookies than I knew what to do with! I might ask a few friends this year if they would like to get one going. I’d make this Whipped Shortbread Cookie recipe.
How to Make Whipped Shortbread Cookies
Grab a large bowl and add all your ingredients: butter, powdered sugar, salt, cornstarch and flour. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture creams together.
It will be crumbly at first. Don’t panic. After you’ve mixed it for at least five minutes, it will come together and resemble a cookie dough.
Drop by teaspoonfuls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes in a 350F oven.
Remove the cookies and let them cool on a baking rack. Store in a covered, air-tight container.
