GRAPES FROM CALIFORNIA SHORTBREAD COOKIES BUTTERY AND PERFECT FOR FALL
Fall baking just got a little sweeter….. and a whole lot fresher, thanks to Grapes From California! These shortbread cookies are so buttery, rich, decadent, with a juicy pop of sweetness right in the center. They’re simple to make, yet feel extra special… certainly the perfect treat to share at fall gatherings or wrap up as a thoughtful homemade gift.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
24 seedless grapes from California (red look prettiest)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2-3 teaspoons milk (for drizzle)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Mix in flour and salt until just combined. Chill dough for 20 minutes.
Shape into 1-inch balls, flatten slightly, and press a grape into the center of each.
Bake 12-14 minutes, until set and lightly golden. Cool completely. Drizzle with powdered sugar-milk glaze for a pretty finish. Note: I didn’t add the glaze to mine.
TIPS
Use firm, seedless Grapes From California, to ensure they hold their shape. These are so cute for Halloween, looking like spooky little eyeballs, while a dusting of powdered sugar can add a snowy winter touch.
