Ingredients

1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour ***
8 tablespoon salted butter cold
⅓ cup brown sugar packed

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Process the ingredients in a food processor until a dough begins to form. This takes 2-3 minutes. It will go from looking very sandy to beginning to come together. Please reference the photos and read the notes.
Dump out onto the parchment covered pan. Press the dough together, using your fingers, into approximately a 8" by 8" square***. Cut into rectangles using a pizza cutter.
Gently spread out the cookies so there is room between them. Chill for 15 minutes.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Notes

Measure the flour gently. Too much flour and the dough will not come together.

You want the dough to be ½ inch thick. The exact size of the pressed out dough matters less than the thickness. You can also cut this with cookie cutters, into triangles, diamonds, or any other shape of your choice.

This must be processed in a food processor for 2-3 minutes. It will come together a bit but still be partly sandy. This is what it is supposed to look like. Once you press it together with your fingers it will stick together and form a cohesive dough.

If you want it to be doughier you can add half a teaspoon at a time of egg white, water, or milk.
