Shortbread Bites

1 1/4 c flour
3 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c cold butter, cut up (no substitutes)
1 Tbsp red and green nonpareils or sprinkles, or 1/2 c mini baking bits

Preheat oven to 375º. In food processor with knife blade attached, pulse flour and sugar until combined. Add butter and pulse until dough begins to come together. Place dough in medium bowl. With hand, gently knead in sprinkles or baking bits until evenly blended and dough forms a ball. On lightly floured wax paper, pat dough into 8" by 5" rectangle; freeze 15 minutes. Cut dough into 1/2" squares. Place squares, 1/2" apart, on ungreased large cookie sheet. Bake cookies 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned on bottom. Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
Store cookies in tightly covered container at room temperature up to 1 week, or in freezer up to 3 months.
