Simple Shortbread

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together flour, confectioner’s sugar, salt, and baking powder.

3. Cut butter into cubes. Add butter and vanilla to the flour mixture. Mix until a stiff dough forms.

4. Press dough into a 9-inch round cake pan. Prick all over with a fork. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the dough.

5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden. Cut into wedges while still warm. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Separate wedges and serve.

Note: Dip wedges into some melted chocolate to dress up this simple shortbread.
