Confetti Biscuits

Confetti biscuits are simple treats to prepare, ideal to serve during the holidays or on special occasions. Their uniqueness lies in the use of colorful sprinkles for decoration, making them cheerful and appealing. Here’s the recipe to make them:

Ingredients

• 250 g of all-purpose flour

• 100 g of butter at room temperature
• 1 egg

Preparation

3. In another bowl, cream the butter with the sugar until you have a creamy and homogeneous mixture.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and continue to work until well incorporated.
5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients (the flour with the baking powder and salt) into the wet mixture, kneading until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough.
6. Take small portions of dough and form balls of the desired size.
7. Roll the dough balls in the colored sprinkles, making sure they adhere well to the entire surface.
8. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for expansion during baking.
9. Bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly golden.
10. Let the confetti biscuits cool on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack until completely cooled.
