Cayenne Shortbread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 lb unsalted butter (softened)
8 tablespoons superfine sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream together the butter and sugar until very smooth.
Sift the flour into the butter mixture and using a pastry mixer (or two forks), work the ingredients into a crumbly but very fine mixture.
Add the cayenne pepper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to prefered thickness (I usually make mine kind of thin- about 1/8 inch).
Cut into desired shapes and place on a nonstick baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown.
The time will depend on the size and thickness of your shortbreads.
I usually bake mine for about 8 minutes, but if you are unsure, check after 5 minutes to make sure that you don't overbake them.
Cool on racks and enjoy!
