Simple ingredients that everyone almost always has already in their kitchen too! 

Who knew such easy ingredients could create one heck of a delicious cookie?!

Perfect for bake sales, Christmas, cookie trays, dessert or you could even make this recipe all year round by just changing up the sprinkles (if you choose to use) to the color you need! red sprinkles – Valentines day, Pink or Blue sprinkles – baby showers! The Possibilities are endless! 

Make sure to check out my dessert section here on the blog– i have tons more christmas recipes as well as dozens of cookie recipes you will love! 

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to one week. They even freeze well up to a month!

These are sure to become a holiday favorite all year round! You can skip the chilling step if you dont have much time, cut the dough into squares right away. The chilled dough is much easier to cut COLD, so I recommend it if you have the few minutes to spare.

These mini cookie bites are buttery shortbread squares that taste incredible! You could even Drizzle these addictive melt-in-your-mouth bites with melted white chocolate to put them over the top!
