3 ingredient shortbread cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Add the softened butter to a medium mixing bowl. Stir the butter until smooth, like the texture of mayo. Add the sugar and mix until combined.
Add the flour and stir until combined. The dough will be a bit shaggy but will stick together if you squeeze it together.
Transfer the dough into a parchment paper lined 8x8" baking dish (it doesn't have to be 8x8", but something similar in size). Smoosh the dough down with your fingers or the back of a measuring cup until its evenly spread out in the pan.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, until the edges are just starting to brown. While the shortbread is warm, sprinkle the turbinado sugar across the top (optional). Then while it is still warm, slice the shortbread. If you are trying to fit them into a box, slice them accordingly.
Let the shortbread cool in the pan and then enjoy!
