Funfetti Shortbread Cookies

Funfetti Shortbread Cookies

There’s just something about shortbread cookies. Buttery and rich, they are perfect paired with a cup of tea. With just half a cup of sugar in them, they are sweet but not overly so. And since shortbread cookies don’t use any eggs or leaveners like baking powder or baking soda, they are a dense, rich cookie that’s a perfect treat. This easy shortbread recipe uses just seven ingredients, with the key ingredient being butter! Since this is a recipe where the butter flavor truly shines, use a good quality butter for the best flavor and results.

Funfetti Shortbread Cookies

First, cream together your butter and sugar. Since there is a lot of butter and not a lot of sugar, the mixture will not be as light and fluffy as it would be with a chocolate chip cookie for example. Add your vanilla and almond extracts and mix to combine. The almond extract gives a really nice flavor to these cookies so do not leave it out! When you first add your salt and flour the mixture may seem crumbly, but give it a few minutes and it will come together nicely.

Funfetti Shortbread Cookies

These cookies are perfect for a celebration, but with just seven ingredients, they’re also the perfect cookie anytime your sugar craving strikes. If you’ve never made shortbread cookies, let these easy funfetti shortbread cookies be your introduction! You can also make them with Christmas colored sprinkles for the holidays, or any kind of sprinkles to celebrate.

Funfetti Shortbread Cookies
Cuisine: Dessert
Prep time:  15 mins
Cook time:  12 mins
Total time:  27 mins
Serves: 20-24 cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. almond extract
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup sprinkles (I prefer Jimmies)
Instructions
  1. Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer and a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add vanilla and almond extracts and mix until creamy and combined.
  2. Add the salt and flour and beat until the mixture comes together and is no longer crumbly.
  3. Add the sprinkles and mix until evenly incorporated.
  4. Roll the dough out into a log, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  5. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Take your prepared dough out of the refrigerator and unwrap. Slice and place cookies on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are slightly golden brown. If not baking on the same level, I recommend switching the baking racks that the cookies are on halfway through cooking.
  8. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet, then enjoy!

Happy second birthday to our sweet Killian Michael Happy second birthday to our sweet Killian Michael! Describing you as sweet is so accurate because you absolutely are the sweetest boy. You’re so easygoing and a joy to be around. You took your time learning to walk but now you are running everywhere, always with a car or truck in hand. You learn new words every day, and when you see a truck, train, plane, or “copa copter” that you’re excited about, you shriek “MOMMY” at increasing volume until I acknowledge what you’ve seen. You will happily drive cars and trucks for hours with a subtle “vroom” as you play. Your favorite day of the week is garbage truck day. You love going to the zoo and seeing animals and always point out the “woof woofs” you see on our hikes and walks. You love when your brothers read to you but if they pick the wrong book, you slap it away and say “no” until you get the one you wanted. The second you hear the garage door at the end of the day you say “dada!” And wait at the door to run and give a hug. Sweet boy, you have brought us so much joy in these two years. You truly have the best disposition and personality. You are such a gift and we all adore you so much. Happy birthday boo bear! #killianmichael #birthdayboy #twoyearsold
