Shortbread Cookies

Shortbread Cookies are a classic cookie that is often overlooked. I was always the weird one who ordered a box of shortbread cookies while others were ordering caramel delights and thin mints. I had no idea making Shortbread Cookies was so easy. Three simple ingredients come together in just a few minutes. You could be enjoying a Shortbread Cookie about 20 minutes after you print this recipe.

My sister thought these would be better with some sprinkles on them. In fact, she rolled some of her Snickerdoodles in sparkly sprinkles and we dubbed them Sparkledoodles. But I digress. I do agree that these could be made even more festive by rolling the edges in some sprinkles.

    This sounds like a no-fuss kind of treat! I’m not sure if you’ve sold me on the orange filling but the treats do look festive!

    I love holiday Oreos! It is a little weird, but at the end of the day, nothing beats an Oreo.

    I love it! It just screams Halloween! It’s also a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy….if there are leftovers 🙂
