Funfetti Shortbread...a simple classic cookie made extra fun with loads of sprinkles!

Can we talk?

Like really talk? And can I count on you to be honest with me here.

Like really honest?

Is Funfetti over?

{gasp}

I mean, I’ve heard that it might be over. And I feel like I’m in denial.

Because how can sprinkles be OVER?

And really does anyone want to live in a sprinkle-less world?

The answer to that is no. Unequivocally.

But isn’t a shame how we are so fickle. One day things are awesome.amazing.omgcantlivewithout.

The next day they are overplayed.donetodeath.solastyear.boring.workedout.killed.

And I fall for it every time.

Ugh. I’m sorry.

But you know what? Not this time.

Not today.

Not on my watch,

Sprinkles. Sprankels. Jimmies. Jammies.

You’ve got a permanent place in my heart o hearts.

Which brings us to my latest treat. Funfetti Shortbread.

First and foremost I am obsessed with shortbread. Just call me Granny.

And since everything is cuter with rainbow sprinkles I decided Funfetti Shortbread needed to be a thing.

And of course I used my favorite sprinkles. Can’t resist Mr. Sprinkles.

Just press the simple batter in a lined 9×9 pan.

And here’s how it will look after it’s baked…

Funfetti Shortbread

Make sure you bake it long enough…that’s a problem I have. I am an underbaker for life. But with shortbread, it needs to be baked properly!

You’ll have a perfectly buttery, subtly sweet shortbread! That looks cute.

    Did someone say sprinkles were over?!? No way! Sprinkles will never go out of style in my world 🙂 I adore these cute shortbread cookies!

  2. I SO agree with you! They will never be over in my heart either! I have had a funfetti birthday cake every year for my birthday, since my first birthday. I have survived this long, so they will never be out of style for me. I will not live in a sprinkle-less world! I am glad to know others feel the same. These look delicious, what a great combo.

  3. Yummy! I will never be over sprinkles…and shortbread…oh my! It takes me back to childhood. Scottish neighbors made it for us. Empire biscuits….shortbread with icing and a cherry…amazing! Love your recipes 🙂

    1. I get him at random places…sometimes I can find him at our local Shop-Rite, but then I also find him at Homegoods too!

    I feel the same way about Funfetti, that even if it may be over on Pinterest etc., it’s never over for me b/c I love it 🙂 Love your idea and that it’s from scratch! Pinned 🙂
