BLACK OLIVE SHORTBREAD
These are buttery and delicious; the addition of olives makes them great for appetizers as well as snacks. To make approx. 2 dozen, you’ll need:
1 C. soft unsalted butter (you can use cannabutter but no more than ½ C. or it’ll taste weird)
2 Tb. packed light brown sugar
2 1/4 C. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 C. olives, (black, kalamata, or green – have fun) thoroughly dry, pitted and chopped (drain the olives, chop ‘em, then wrap in paper towel for max dryness)
Grease a 9 x13 inch baking pan and preheat your oven to 350. You can use a 9×9, but it will give you a very thick shortbread so plan on 5-10 more minutes to bake. Combine butter and sugar in a big bowl and beat with an electric mixer until creamy, about 2 minutes. Turn the mixer to low, add the flour and salt and beat just to combine. Fold in the olives and then smooth the dough into the pan. Press it firmly and prick with a fork to prevent puffing, then bake till it’s golden brown and pulling away from the edges – about 35 minutes. Wait till your shortbread is all cooled then cut into squares – so good!!
