Description

Classic shortbread gets a chocolate twist!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour (I used Bob’s All Purpose Unbleached flour)
  • 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter, sugar and vanilla together for 2 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in the flour, mixing until just combined.
  2. Stir in the chocolate chips evenly.
  3. Transfer the dough to a zip-top bag and chill for at least 2 hours. Alternately, you can roll your dough out now and cut into shapes, and then chill the dough. Both methods are effective.
  4. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  5. Roll dough out into a large square, 1/3-inch thick. Cut the dough into squares using a knife, or you could use cookie cutters.
  6. Place on baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes.
  7. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

store airtight at room temperature for up to 5 days
