Holiday Funfetti Shortbread Bites – quick & easy, sweet, crunchy bites are perfect for holidays. Christmas, New Year, Easter, Fourth of July- just make sure to match the sprinkles color with the holiday.
Butter the bottom and sides of an 8 x 8 - inch pan,and line with parchment paper.
In a large dish beat butter and sugar at medium speed for about 2 minutes, until creamy. Mix in vanilla extract. Lower the speed and beat some more, slowly adding flour and salt, until it becomes crumbly.
Add sprinkles and beat until dough begins to come together. Spread evenly into the dish, already prepared, then press firmly with a hard object to make flat, solid layer. Chill 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325 F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
Take the dough out of the fridge and out of the pan, using parchment paper. Cut it with a big knife or pizza cutter into ½ inch squares.
Place the bites in the sheet pan, ½ inch apart. Bake them for 12-15 minutes or until they start becoming brown at the bottom.
Take out of the oven and leave in the sheet pan to cool for a few minutes.
