Everyone loves these festive little bites—especially kids! Bring these to your next Christmas party and watch them disappear.
My Favorite Funfetti Shortbread Cookies!
These tiny little shortbread cookies have quickly become a favorite cookie recipe around here! My whole is crazy about these cookies. They’re easy to make, they only require a few basic ingredients, and they are addictively delicious. You’ll love how pop-able they are! Everything is better when it’s mini and these cookies are no exception.
What You Need To Make Funfetti Shortbread Cookie Bites
These fun Christmas cookies only require 5 ingredients:
Butter Sugar Almond Extract All purpose flour Colored Sprinkles
Not only are these some of the cutest cookies ever but they also taste amazing thanks to their buttery goodness and the delicious flavor the almond extract offers.
The Perfect Christmas Gift
These would be so fun to make for your kids on Christmas or to gift to neighbors in a festive box or mug. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t love these cookies. They are some of my favorite cookies I’ve ever made and I know I will make them time and time again. I already plan on making them again for my family Christmas party and I’m certain they’ll be a hit! They are easier to make than they may appear, cutting them into long rows makes it a breeze and I love that the dough only requires a quick chilling thanks to the cold butter used in the recipe.
Can I Freeze These Funfetti Shortbread Cookies?
These cookies freeze perfectly! I freeze them in resealable freezer bags then pop a handful into a container and put them in my kids school lunches. Or I even just sneak a few from the freezer and eat them cold! They’ll freeze well for about 1 month.
Is there a Substitute for Almond Extract?
I highly recommend the almond extract for the tastiest flavor, but if there’s an allergy or if you are unable to find it you can use 1 tsp vanilla extract instead.
Using Other Holiday Sprinkles
You can easily swap out the sprinkle color for any other color, a rainbow blend would be perfect for a birthday or you could do pastels on Easter, pink and red on valentines and so on. You can even find the sprinkles in single colors at some craft stores, kitchen supply stores, or online, so you can make your own blend of colors. Enjoy and happy holiday baking!
