This is a copycat recipe of delicious buttery cookies that taste just like Panera’s.These cookie will melt in your mouth and are very addicting, so good, you won’t be able to eat just one- I have been known to horde these.
Cook time: 20 Min
Prep time: 20 Min
Serves: makes about 3 dozen -depends on how big you cut them.
Ingredients
1Â c real butter, room temperature
2Â c cake flour
3/4Â c powdered sugar
1/2Â tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
Directions
1. Combine all ingredients; use hands to knead until ingredients are blended. Press dough into parchment paper covered 9×13 inch pan to about 1/4 inch thickness.(you may want to grease the pan slightly so the parchment paper does not slide around as you press the dough to 1/4 inch thickness) . Before baking mark rectangle cookie lines with knife to make them look more authentic Panera shortbread cookie look . Teresa suggests that you freeze these before baking.It’s worth a try-thanks Teresa…
2. Bake at 325^ for about 20 minutes check after 15 minutes, or until light and not browned. Don’t over bake. Cut into cookie squares when cool.
3. Note: Martha Martin suggests you roll out the dough and use cookie cutters of holiday shapes to make your cookies..Great idea Martha!
