Cayenne Shortbread

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. 2

   Cream together the butter and sugar until very smooth.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   Add the cayenne pepper.

5. 5

   On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to prefered thickness (I usually make mine kind of thin- about 1/8 inch).

6. 6

   Cut into desired shapes and place on a nonstick baking sheet.

7. 7

   Bake until golden brown.

8. 8

   The time will depend on the size and thickness of your shortbreads.

9. 9

   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.

10. 10

    Cool on racks and enjoy!
