Guys. It's been literally forever since I have posted.
I blame school. But at least it's summer now!
Or is it?
Sure, it's the middle of muggy August and I've long ago realized that nothing on my summer bucket was going to get done, but there's one problem.
In a matter of weeks, I will be sitting in a desk again, surrounded by my (actually pretty cute) school supplies.
But let's pretend there's not impending doom and make fairy cookies. Doesn't that name just make you want to jump on the fairy cookie bandwagon and swim in them? Sure, you could call them mini shortbread cookies, but where, might I ask you, is the fun in that?
These are so cute and delicious. Basically, they're just baby shortbreads with sprinkles in them, and they disappear quickly! And since they're so small, they also burn quickly, so make sure you keep an eye on them when they are in the oven. They are also very photogenic, so take some pictures for Instagram. :)
