Spray lightly with nonstick spray. Put ball of dough in the middle of pan and spread to sides. Prick entire surface with a fork, then bake at 325° for 30 to 35 minutes until very lightly browned. Be sure middle of shortbread is completely cooked. Cool 10 minutes, then loosen with a knife and flip onto a cutting board. Cut while still warm into desired shapes.
