Step-by-step: How to make whipped shortbread cookies
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, at medium to high speed, cream the butter and powdered sugar for 3 minutes until it is light and fluffy. You can also use a large bowl with a whisk. Scrape the sides of the bowl. Add the lemon zest and vanilla extract.
Combine the flour, salt, and cornstarch. Add it to the wet ingredients. Transfer the dough to the refrigerator to chill for 15 to 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F / 177°C / Gas Mark 4. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Roll the cookie dough into small golf-ball-sized balls about 1 inch in size. Place the cookies on the baking trays, leaving enough space for them to spread. Then, press them with a fork and top with a few sprinkles. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Cool on a cookie tray for 5 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before you transfer to an air tight container or cookie jar.
