Delicious and colorful Halloween Shortbread Cookies, perfect for festive gatherings and fall celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup sprinkles
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix until a dough forms.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles gently.
  6. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Flatten each ball slightly with your hands or a fork.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option. Don’t over-mix the dough after adding the dry ingredients to prevent density. For thicker cookies, chill the dough before rolling.
