Description

Light, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies, whipped to perfection and decorated with festive holiday sprinkles.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the flour, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract, and mix on low until just combined, then increase speed and whip for 1 minute until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in the holiday sprinkles until evenly distributed.
  5. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, or pipe using a star tip for a decorative look.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
