This is a simple spin on a classic cookie! Funfetti Shortbread makes an old fashioned treat fun!
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.
I used about half a cup in this recipes. TONS!
Just press the simple batter in a lined 9×9 pan.
And here’s how it will look after it’s baked…
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.
Enjoy!

Like diamonds, sprinkles are forever. ????
YES!!
Whaaaat! Sprinkles are definitely NOT over. We’ll keep the dream alive!!!
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.
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 🙂

Ooohhhhh, my two favorite things! Sprinkles and shortbread!
I need mr. sprinkles – he’s so cute! where did you get him?
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 know in TN/KY they carry him at Kroger!
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 🙂
