on Nov 30, 2016, Updated Sep 04, 2023 33 Comments These simple slice and bake shortbread cookies are one of my favorite cookie recipes to prep ahead and keep in the refrigerator. I can whip up a few batches of the shortbread cookie dough, wrap it well and have it waiting in the refrigerator for me to slice and bake for a perfect make ahead sweet treat! But, you can also make it ahead and keep rolls of it in the freezer for longer term prep ahead! Then, just allow the shortbread cookie dough to thaw for a few minutes as the oven preheats so that they’ll be easier to slice. You may have to add another minute or so to the baking time, but watch them carefully. Just think, now you can go ahead and get your cookies all prepped for the holidays! I like to slice them into 1/3-inch slices and then place them onto a parchment lined baking sheet. You’ll then bake them until they are just lightly golden around the edges, about 12 minutes.
