Kay’s Shortbread

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons white sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and confectioners' sugar. Stir in the butter and vanilla, and mix until a stiff dough forms. Pat dough into 9-inch round cake pan, and prick well with a fork. Sprinkle remaining sugar over dough.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Cut into wedges while warm. Cool on wire rack; separate cookies.
