Cranberry Almond Shortbread Bites
Shortbread is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated cookies. It really has a lot going for it, rich buttery taste, crumbly sweet texture, and unmatched versatility. You can add nearly anything to the dough to create one of a kind flavors such as this Cranberry Almond recipe.
These bite-size cookies are perfect for wrapping up as a gift, serving at a party, or snacking. Plus the recipe is easy enough for kids to make! Hope you enjoy them!
Ingredients
Directions
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and cut together with a pastry cutter. Perfect work for little hands!
Once the dough passes a pinch test (Grab a pinch-if it sticks together it’s ready.) knead until all the crumbs are combined.
Form into four four-inch balls, flatten into circles and cut with a dough scraper into wedges. Leave the wedges together!
You don’t have to form the dough into four balls you can also make just one, I happen to like lots of crunchy edges and the smaller bites also make it easier to pack if you’re going to be giving them as a gift!
Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet in a 325-degree oven for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden. Once removed from the oven re-cut the wedges and let it all cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
