Title: Girl Scout Cookies Shortbread
Categories: Cookies, Copycat
Yield: 60 Cookies
1/2 c Butter-flavored shortening
1 c Powdered sugar
1/2 ts Vanilla
1/4 ts Salt
2 tb Egg; beaten
1/2 ts Baking soda
2 tb Buttermilk
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour;
- +1/4 c for rolling
1/8 ts Baking powder
Since they only sell these once a year, right around springtime,
you're bound to get a craving sometime around fall. And if you're
still holding onto a box, they may have begun to taste a bit like
used air-hockey pucks. Now you can toss out those relics and fill the
box with a fresh batch, made from this clone recipe for the first
variety of cookies sold by the Girl Scouts back in 1917.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, sugar,
vanilla, and salt with an electric mixer.
Add the egg and beat mixture until it's fluffy. Add the baking soda
and mix for about 20 seconds, then add the buttermilk and mix for an
additional 30 seconds.
In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well with an
electric mixer until flour is incorporated.
Roll the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and chill it
for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 325 F.
Roll dough out on a well-floured surface to 1/8" thick and punch out
cookies with a 1-1/2 to 2" cutter (a medium-size spice bottle lid
works well). Arrange cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
