Peaches & Cream Shortbread
These tasty shortbread cookies are a nice twist on the classic. Adding a splash of our Natural Peaches & Cream Extract just screams Spring. These are a wonderful addition to morning coffee, tea, or an afternoon snack. Use you favorite cookie cutter cutter shapes, we like a simple square to let the decoration (and flavor!) shine and crinkly rectangles for dipping.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp Amoretti® Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla W.S. 2X
- 2 tsp Amoretti® Natural Peaches & Cream Type W.S. Extract
- 3½ cups all purpose flour, sifted
- ⅛ tsp salt

- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Roll out the dough to ½” thick. If you have a 3” x 1” shortbread cutter, use that. If not, any shape cookie cutter or a knife will work to cut out the cookies.
