I love holiday baking! And I start to plan what to make way before Christmas–just like I start dreaming of snow in July. (Really, I do! I know, I’m a freak.)

This is one that I’ve had filed away for a few years, but I never got around to trying it.
I don’t know what I’ve been waiting for! These are so easy. Even easier if you use a food processor.

They’re a basic shortbread, so if you’re looking for a sweet cookie, these aren’t going to do it for you. But if you love shortbread or know someone that does, give these a try!

You make the dough right in the food processor, knead it a few times to get it all together,
pat it out on your baking sheet and cut them into little squares. So easy! The only problem is that they’re teeny, and so easy to pop in your mouth…so watch out, hehe.
You could also change the colors of the sprinkles for different occasions.

I also had some chocolate calling to me from my (not so) secret stash of goodies,
so I figured I’d melt some and dip a few of the cookies–give them a bit of chilling time in the fridge.

Mmmmm, those were good, too! But if you decide to do that and give them away,
they need to be chilled or in a cool place. Next time, I think I’d add some mint extract to the chocolate.
