Time 1h

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 heaping teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup chocolate candies, such as M and Ms
1 cup rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  • In the bowl of a mixer, cream the butter together with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until it's nice and combined. Add the eggs, peanut butter and vanilla and beat until smooth, scraping the bowl if necessary to make sure everything is incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, coffee granules, baking soda and salt. Stir together, then add it to the mixer in 3 increments, mixing on low until it's totally incorporated. Scrape the bowl and beat for a few more seconds. Stir in the chocolate candies, rice cereal and pecans (if using) by hand.
  • With an ice cream scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate the scooped cookies for 15 minutes, then bake until golden brown, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and repeat with the remaining dough.

CATHY'S WHIPPED SHORTBREAD COOKIES



Cathy's Whipped Shortbread Cookies image

This is an old family recipe. My Great aunt used to just drop them from a spoon onto a cookie sheet. I use my cookie gun and get about 120 cookies. They are an excellent-melt-in-your-mouth cookie. I decorate them with cherries and icing.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips are good choices.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying them.
