My kids are always on the go, in and out heading to classes and I knew they would be perfect for them to grab a couple here and there. They love shortbread cookies especially during the holiday season. I have not had a chance to make our favorite Spritz Cookies yet this holiday season and I love trying new recipes so this recipe seemed perfect.

Just as I suspected, they had my one batch I made gone within a few hours. Everyone would just grab a couple here and there and before I knew it they were gone. I had the chance to nibble on a few here and there with my evening coffee. I LOVE shortbread cookies and the bite size was perfect for snacking.

If you have guests over for the holidays, these little bite sized cookies will be perfect. Toss them in the middle of your cookie trays. I will guarantee they will be popular.

  2. What do you suggest for those of us that do not have a food processor? I’ll bet that I am not the only one! This looks like a great recipe & I would hate for other cooks to pass it by. Thanks!

    1. I realize this is an old comment, but for future bakers out there: I usually just take two knives and cut the butter into the flour. It takes longer, but it’s my family’s traditional way to do it
