Easy Cookie Wedding Favor Recipe

Do It Yourself Wedding Favors

This cookie wedding favor recipe will make about 2 1/2 dozen shortbread cookies.

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp salt

2 sticks of unsalted, softened butter

1 cup confectioners' sugar

1 tsp vanilla (use the real vanilla that is clear in color so your cookies don't look brown)

Vegetable oil for brushing cookie stamps

Mix flour and salt together in a bowl and set aside. Add the butter and sugar. Use electric mixer and mix on medium speed until fluffy. Turn speed to low, add flour mixture and mix until combined.

Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for an hour until firm.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and let the dough soften a little at room temperature. Take one of the disks and roll out the dough on a lightly floured piece of parchment to about 1/2 inch think pieces.

Stamp it with a cookie stamp that is slightly oiled and no more than 2 inches in diameter. Use a 2 inch cutter to cut them out. Repeat the above. Gather all the scraps together, roll out again, stamp them and cut them out.

Place the cookies 1 inch apart on baking sheets that are parchment-lined. Bake for 16 minutes or until edges start to turn golden color. Let cookies cool a little on sheets before transfering to wire racks to cool off completely. These cookies can be stored in airtight containers for up to 1 week.

Brush your cookie stamps very lightly with a little vegetable oil before stamping your cookies. This will help prevent sticking.
