Instructions
- See "Notes" below for changes to make the "shortbread bites".
- Cream together butter and powdered sugar. Mix in egg and vanilla.
- Gradually add flour until well combined (see note). Fold in jimmies by hand (a mixer will break them up too much).
- Knead dough a few times until it comes together. Chill in refrigerator at least ½ hour.
- Roll dough with a standard roller to about ¼ inch thick. When at correct thinness, roll with embossed roller to press in design (this will thin it a little more which is fine). Position a cookie cutter over nice areas of the design and cut out cookies. Chill cookies in freezer for about 10 minutes or refrigerator for about ½ hour.
- Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 400 F. Start checking for doneness at 7 minutes, then every minute thereafter until cookies are just starting to brown. Cool on wire rack.
Notes
- Because the moisture content of ingredients will vary, add extra flour if the dough is very sticky--it should be slightly tacky, but not sticky.
- Makes 12-36 cookies, depending on size. Nutrition information is based on 24 cookies and will vary with size.
- ---------
- For the shortbread bites version, mix all ingredients as above, but reserve half of the sprinkles and don't refrigerate the dough until after you cut it.
- Form the dough into a 9 inch square. Press in the remaining sprinkles, then cut into bite-sized squares. Refrigerate for a half hour or freeze for 10 minutes then bake as instructed above.
