Easy Prep: Prep these in only 30-minutes and have them ready in about 1.5 hours Flavor Pop: These shortbreads have a nice surprise of the peach gummy added in the centre Delicious: Everyone loves shortbread cookies around the holiday time. They are seriously nostalgic
Ingredient Notes:
Herbaland Gummies: These gummies are made with natural color and flavors, they also have the added benefits of fiber and are low in sugar. So these aren’t your regular gummies. Bonus! They are also vegan. It’s so hard to find vegan gummies, but these bad boys are. Vanilla: There is nothing I could emphasize more than the importance of using a good quality, pure vanilla in your baking. You CAN taste the difference between the real thing and the cheap stuff. Make sure you read the bottle you are buying and make sure it has a natural flavor and isn’t artificial.
How to make shortbread bites:
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar using a hand mixer on low, speeding up to medium when combined. To the mix, add vanilla, salt, and sprinkles. Combine.
- To the bowl, add the flour and continue to mix on medium until evenly combined. You know this is fully combined when there are so dry areas/leftover flour in the bowl.
- Onto one of the parchment-lined baking sheets, create a 1/4-inch rectangle with the dough. Put this into the fridge for 30 minutes (only up to 24 hours). If you want there to be more sprinkles on the bites, then press more onto the dough now.
- Preheat your oven to 375F once you are ready to cook your shortbread.
- Using a knife, pizza cutter, or bench scraper, cut the rectangle into small squares or as desired.
- This next step is very important. Place the shortbread onto the baking sheets and make sure there is enough room between each piece. You do not want them to touch. Bake them for around 8 minutes for tender pieces or 10 minutes for crispier pieces.
- Let them cool completely on the baking sheets.
- To make the Shortbread Cookies, stuff with Vanilla Icing and Herbaland Gummies! Enjoy! For Freezing: storage cookies in a tightly sealed container. Will last up to 1 month in the freezer. Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container once cooled at room temperate for up to 5 days. What if I don’t like peach-flavored gummies? Don’t worry! Herbaland has a variety of flavors of their Good News Gummies including raspberry and blueberry.
