Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended.
Shape shortbread dough into 2 (7-inch) logs. Wrap each log in wax paper, and chill 4 hours, or freeze logs in zip-top plastic freezer bags up to 1 month.
If frozen, let logs stand at room temperature 10 minutes.
Cut each log into 24 slices.
Place shortbread slices 1 inch apart on lightly greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
Bake shortbread slices at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges of slices are golden.
Remove shortbread from baking sheets, and place on wire racks; let cool completely (about 20 minutes). Store in airtight containers.
