Funfetti shortbread bites are delicious and colorful treats that combine the buttery goodness of shortbread with the fun and festive sprinkles of Funfetti. They are perfect for parties, celebrations, or just as a sweet snack. Here's a simple recipe to make your own Funfetti shortbread bites:
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (Funfetti)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Take small portions of the dough, about 1 tablespoon each, and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
Use the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand to gently flatten each dough ball until it's about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake the shortbread bites in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the shortbread bites cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the Funfetti shortbread bites have cooled, you can enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container for later.
These Funfetti shortbread bites are sure to bring a smile to your face with their colorful appearance and buttery taste. Enjoy them as a delightful treat or share them with friends and family for a special occasion.
