Brown Sugar Shortbread Bar Cookies

Brown Sugar Shortbread Bar Cookies, made with only 3 Ingredients!

I make my sister’s recipe for regular shortbread all the time but I decided to try it with brown sugar instead of regular sugar. The brown sugar definitely gives it a different flavor, to me it seems sweeter. It’s a nice change from the traditional shortbread so if your looking for a twist on classic shortbread this is it!

You can easily make 1/2 a recipe if you want a small batch, just bake it in a 8×8″ pan & reduce baking time to about 25 min. It’s optional but for even more flavor you can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. You can also sprinkle the top with sugar before baking if you’d like.
