These shortbread cookies were an experiment a few years ago when we wanted to take cookies to a friend who lived in Russia for a few years. They were a delicious hit. They are different from most typical cookies, they are crumbly versus chewy, but they are delicious with a cup of herbal tea or hot cocoa. My kids LOVE to make these because they get to roll them in the sugar. I love them because they are so fast to make and don’t require constant watching like other cookies. A win all around!
You will need:
- 1 Cup Softened Butter
- 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/4 Cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Sugar Sprinkles
Mix together the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until well combined. Add the flour and salt, mixing again. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll them in the sugar sprinkles. Bake the cookies on a GREASED cookie sheet for 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Cookie should be stiff but not brown.
Have you ever tried these kind of cookies before?
These look super easy and so cute! I love the sprinkles too 🙂

I have not tried these types of cookies before, but they look good. I do a lot of baking, but cookies aren't my specialty. My Mom and all of my aunts are experts at cookie-making, but that talent skipped me unfortunately.
