Easy Shortbread Cookies

Easy Shortbread Cookies
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
3 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), cold, cut into pieces
2 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 tbsp sprinkles, nonpareils or baking bits (red & green for Christmas time, orange & black for Halloween)

Preheat oven to 325
In food processor pulse flour and sugar until combined.
Add butter and vanilla, pulse until dough comes together
Place in medium bowl and with your hand gently knead in sprinkles, nonpareils or baking bits until a ball forms.
Pat dough out onto a floured wax paper covered cookie sheet.
Place in freezer for 10 minutes
Cut dough into 1/2 inch squares
Place on ungreased cookie sheet
Bake for 10-12 minutes
Cool on baking rack
Enjoy!!
Mine did have sprinkles in them but they were white (all I had in house) so you can't see them. Excited to try this with red & green nonpareils though.
****I highly recommend at least a double batch as these were devoured quickly.
