Preparation
Step 1
Knead all of the above ingredients in a bowl with hands until a dough forms (until it does not stick to the sides of the bowl). Pat mixture down onto an ungreased cookie sheet so it is about 1/2 inch thick. Press down the edges with a fork. Pierce holes randomly throughout the shortbread with a fork. Bake at 300 degrees (in a preheated oven) for 30 to 35 minutes until the edges are just turning golden brown. Allow shortbread to cook on the cookie sheet. Cut into squares. Optional - Dust with powdered sugar.
