Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 large eggs

- Red and gold food coloring (for thematic accents)

- Shape the dough into small balls or your preferred shapes, then place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Optional: Embed small candies or chocolate chips to resemble tech circuitry.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
