Cookie Recipe #5 - Shortbread Bites

shortbread bites
Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends
  • You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out
  • You get new recipes
  • You often have snacks or games!
That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw).

I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

Today's recipe comes from Good Housekeeping

Shortbread Bites
1 1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
3 tablespoon(s) sugar
1/4 cup (1 stick) butter (no substitutions), cold, cut into pieces    
1 tablespoon(s) red and green nonpareils or sprinkles or 1/2 cup mini baking bits

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. In food processor with knife blade attached, pulse flour and sugar until combined. Add butter and pulse until dough begins to come together. Place dough in medium bowl. With hand, gently knead in nonpareils or baking bits until evenly blended and dough forms a ball.
  3. On lightly floured waxed paper, pat dough into 8" by 5" rectangle; freeze 15 minutes. Cut dough into 1/2-inch squares. Place squares, 1/2 inch apart, on ungreased large cookie sheet.
  4. Bake cookies 18 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned on bottom. Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough. Store cookies in tightly covered container at room temperature up to 1 week, or in freezer up to 3 months.
