Irresistible Christmas shortbread cookies made with pantry staples.

Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups butter at room temperature
1 tablespoon colored sugar, or to taste

Instructions:

First, preheat your oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Then, generously butter a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Combine 4 cups and 2 tablespoons of flour, butter, and white sugar in a bowl, and mix until fully incorporated using your hands. Press dough into the baking pan, smoothing it out with waxed paper and pressing firmly. Finally, prick the dough with a fork through the paper, then remove the waxed paper.
Bake the shortbread in the preheated oven until lightly browned, approximately 1 1/2 hours. Turn off the oven, remove the pan, cut the shortbread into 1-inch squares, then return the pan to the oven until completely cooled.
Sprinkle shortbread with vibrant colored sugar, then gently lift squares out of the pan and place them in an airtight container for storage.
