Holiday Shortbread Bites

In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar using a hand mixer on low, speeding up to medium when combined. To the mix, add vanilla, salt, and sprinkles.  Combine.

To the bowl, add the flour and continue to mix on medium until evenly combined. You know this is fully combined when there are so dry areas/leftover flour in the bowl.

Onto one of the parchment-lined baking sheets, create a 1/4-inch rectangle with the dough. Put this into the fridge for 30 minutes (only up to 24 hours). If you want there to be more sprinkles on the bites, then press more onto the dough now.

Preheat your oven to 375F once you are ready to cook your shortbread.

Using a knife, pizza cutter, or bench scraper, cut the rectangle into small squares or as desired.

This next step is very important.  Place the short bread onto the baking sheets and make sure there is enough room between each piece.  You do not want them to touch.  Bake them for around 8 minutes for tender pieces or 10 minutes for crispier pieces.
