Sweet Brown Sugar Shortbread Treats

Ingredients 0/6

Step 1

Beat the butter, kosher salt, and dark brown sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer on high for about 5 minutes until it’s nice and creamy. Then, add the flour and mix just until everything comes together—don’t overdo it.

Step 2

Turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper and shape it into a log roughly 2 inches wide. Wrap it up in the parchment and pop it in the fridge for about an hour until it’s completely chilled.

Step 3

When you’re ready, heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking sheets. Take the dough out of the fridge and unwrap it. Roll the log in demerara sugar so it’s evenly coated, then slice it into rounds about a quarter-inch thick. Lay the cookies on the baking sheets, giving them a little space.

Step 4

Before popping them in the oven, sprinkle a bit more demerara sugar and a pinch of coarse sea salt on top of each cookie. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden and the cookies feel firm when you gently press them. Let them cool and enjoy!
