Sprinkle Shortbread Cookies

These are going to be perfect Valentine’s Day treats for my friends this year, but I couldn’t wait to share this recipe for Sprinkle Shortbread Cookies. They are so easy to make and have a delicious buttery flavor. I will definitely make these cookies again in February, but for now I’m going share them with my coworkers.

Did you know approximately 7 percent of the U.S. milk supply is used to make butter?
