Directions

• Place flour, sugar and salt in a bowl of a food processor. Process for 5 seconds.
• Add butter and shortening and process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and starts to come together.
• Place mixture on a sheet of parchment paper. With your hands, bring the mixture together into a disk. Roll out into a 8 by 5 rectangle. Place parchment paper with dough and place in freezer for 15 minutes.
• In the meantime, preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• When ready, cut the shortbread in half and then each half into about 1/2 squares. Bake one half at a time. Place shortbread bites onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1/2 inch space between them. Bake for 18 minutes.
