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.

    What size pan? I’m guessing 9×13. Looks like an awesome recipe, can’t wait to try it!

      Sorry, I’m updating the recipe now. I used an 8×8 pan.

    I have to admit that, as a Brit, I have NO idea what a snickerdoodle is, but this sounds delicious and yummy and amazing and I WANT SOME. Tis the season to eat everything pumpkin-y.

      Snickerdoodles are basically a sugar cookie with cinnamon. They’re very popular here in the US. I agree! Bring on the pumpkin 🙂
