5 Ingredient Shortbread Bites With Funfetti

I love these because they’re totally snack-able and indeed totally pop-able, they are perfectly portable, they are easy to make, and only require FIVE ingredients. They have a longer shelf life than most baked goods and they don’t require refrigeration, they are perfect for holidays (with their customizable sprinkles, you can even find single colors online and mix and match to get the color combo you want). They are the tiniest, cutest little cookies you’ll ever make, and of course, they are 100% irresistibly delicious (think perfectly buttery, birthday cake-like flavor, and crisp melt-in-your-mouth texture)! So with all that said are you starting to see that you really need to make these Funfetti Shortbread Bites?? Do it. Everyone including yourself will thank you.

How to Make 5 Ingredient Shortbread Bites

Butter and line a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Cream butter and sugar in an electric stand mixer until combined. Mix in almond extract. Blend in flour then 2 1/2 Tbsp sprinkles.

Press dough into an even layer in the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle remaining 1 Tbsp sprinkles over top and lightly press into dough. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat oven. Lift dough from the pan using a parchment overhang on all sides. Cut into 1/2-inch squares. Transfer about 1/3 of the cookies to an unbuttered baking sheet*** and scatter cookies out spacing cookies 1/2-inch apart.

Bake in preheated oven for 8 – 12 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining bites, adding them to a cool baking sheet. Cool completely then transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature.
