These tiny Mini Shortbread Christmas Cookie Bites are really one of the best things I’ve put in my mouth this week. They’re light, crisp, buttery and full of festive holiday sprinkles. Of course, I didn’t go with traditional ‘red and green’ sprinkles. I found some awesome colorful ‘gingerbread’ holiday sprinkles that really made these tiny bites pop!

The very same ones that I used in my Healthified 'Lofthouse' Soft Sugar Cookies! The sprinkles here DO make a difference, so be sure to use your favorites. Jimmies and ‘confetti’ style sprinkles work best because they don’t bleed out color into the batter as easily as some others.

Shortbread is fairly easy to make, the hardest part here is allowing for the full 30 minutes to chill in the fridge and not eating any of the raw batter. These cookies are PERFECT for leaving out for Santa too and kids can for sure help with making these. I know they will be on our cookie platter this year.

If they last long enough that is!
