-
Preheat the oven to 325°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour, sugar, and salt, and pulse to combine.
-
Add half of your butter pieces and pulse a few times, then add the remaining butter. Pulse your dough in 5 second bursts until the dough comes together.
-
Divide the dough in four equal portions in separate bowls. In each bowl, add your desired gel food coloring and mix well with a spoon.
-
Line your countertop with a sheet of plastic wrap, and line up your colored dough in strips, going from the lightest color to the darkest.
-
Roll up your colored doughs into a cylinder, and cut one end with a pair of scissors.
-
Place the cylinder of dough into a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip.
-
Pipe your cookies onto your baking sheet, leaving space in between for the cookies to expand.
-
Bake the shortbread for 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
-
Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
-
While the shortbread is cooling, melt your Celebakes Whimsical White melting wafers in the microwave in 10 second bursts, stirring in between each increment.
-
When your cookies are cool enough to handle, dip one half of the cookie into the melted white wafers.
TIP: dip the side of the cookie with the piped edge!
-
While your dip is still wet, sprinkle on Celebakes rainbow nonpareils!
-
Your rainbow shortbreads are ready to eat! These can be stored in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
Congratulations you did it!
