Cookies-and-Cream Shortbread Cookie Recipe

4. Add the flour and salt, and pulse until the dough comes together, about 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and process until combined.

5. Divide the dough in half and then form each piece into an inch-thick disk. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ⅓ inch thick. Cut the dough into circles using a round fluted cookie cutter and then transfer to the prepared baking sheets.

6. Bake until the cookies start to brown at the edges, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool completely.

7. Make the Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk the confectioners’ sugar and cream until a thick glaze forms. Working one at a time, spoon 1 teaspoon of glaze on top of each cookie. Let the glaze set for 5 minutes, then sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs on top of each cookie. The glaze will fully set in another 10 to 15 minutes and then the cookies are ready to serve.
