Melt in Your Mouth Shortbread Cookies

This is my favourite shortbread cookie,
and I always have the ingredients on hand.
So simple to make and so delicious,
it produces a very delicate shortbread.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup icing sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine all ingredients and mix for a FULL 10 minutes.
Yes, I said a full 10 minutes!
Mixture will start out very dry and crumbly but will
become batter like after the full 10 minutes.
I like to use my stand mixer for this,
but a hand mixer will do the trick if it is a strong one.
Drop from teaspoons or a piping bag onto a cookie sheet,
I find teaspoons work best.
Bake for approx 15 minutes or until bottoms are very lightly brown.
Watch that the tops don't turn brown!
