  • Add Flour:
    Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. If it’s too crumbly, use your hands to gently knead it together — it should hold its shape when pressed.
  • Shape and Chill:
    Roll the dough into a log (about 2 inches thick), wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Or press into a square/rectangle and chill for easy slicing.
  • Slice and Bake:
    Slice the chilled dough into 1/4-inch rounds. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp.
  • Cool and Serve:
    Let them cool slightly on the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

  • Tips & Serving Ideas:

    • Pair with a chilled glass of white wine or a spicy margarita.
    • Add a touch of smoked paprika or cumin for deeper flavor.
    • Store in an airtight container — if they last that long!

    Whether you serve them at a gathering or keep them all to yourself (I won’t judge), these shortbread bites are dangerously good. They’re flaky, cheesy, a little spicy, and endlessly satisfying. Just one? Impossible. This is the kind of snack that disappears quickly — because honestly, it leaves everyone wanting more.
