Classic shortbread gets a chocolate twist!

Categories     Cookies

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips evenly.
  • 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.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • 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.
  • Place on baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

SALTED CHOCOLATE CHUNK SHORTBREAD COOKIES



Salted Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies image

These wildly popular cookies were developed by Alison Roman for her cookbook, "Dining In: Highly Cookable Recipes." "I've always found chocolate chip cookies to be deeply flawed (to know this about me explains a lot)," she writes. "Too sweet, too soft, or with too much chocolate, there's a lot of room for improvement, if you ask me. But no one asked me, and rather than do a complete overhaul on the most iconic cookie known to man, I took all my favorite parts and invented something else entirely. Made with lots of salted butter (it has a slightly different flavor and a deeper saltiness than using just salt - I prefer unsalted butter everywhere else but here), the dough has just enough flour to hold it together and the right amount of light brown sugar to suggest a chocolate chip cookie."

Time 45m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons/255 grams total salted butter (2¼ sticks), cold (room temperature if you're using a handheld mixer), cut into ½-inch pieces (see note)
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1/4 cup/55 grams light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups/325 grams all-purpose flour (see Tip)
6 ounces/170 grams semi-sweet or bittersweet dark chocolate, chopped (not too fine; you want chunks, not little shards)
1 large egg, beaten
Demerara sugar, for rolling
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or an electric hand mixer, beat the butter, both sugars and vanilla on medium-high till it's super light and fluffy (3 to 5 minutes for a stand mixer; 6 to 8 for a hand mixer). Using a spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl and, with the mixer on low, slowly add the flour, followed by the chocolate chunks, and mix just to blend. If necessary, knead the dough with your hands to make sure the flour is totally incorporated. At this point, the dough should be smooth and feel like Play-Doh with no pockets of flour.
  • Divide the dough in half, placing each half on a large piece of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic over so that it covers the dough to protect your hands from getting all sticky. Using your hands, form the dough into a log shape; rolling it on the counter will help you smooth it out, but don't worry about getting it totally perfect. (Don't be afraid to make them compact. Shortbread is supposed to be dense. That's part of why it's so good.) You can also do this using parchment paper, if you prefer, but plastic wrap is easier when it comes to shaping the log. Each half should form a 6-inch log, 2 to 2¼ inches in diameter. Chill until totally firm, about 2 hours.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush the outside of the logs with the beaten egg and roll them in the demerara sugar (this is for those really delicious, crisp edges).
  • Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each log into ½-inch-thick rounds (if you hit a chocolate chunk, slowly saw back and forth through the chocolate). If the cookies break or fall apart, just press them back together - the dough is very forgiving. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart (they won't spread much). Sprinkle with flaky salt. Bake until the edges are just beginning to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before eating them all.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Yield Makes about 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, frozen 1 hour
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, diced, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk flour, cocoa, and salt in small bowl to blend. Coarsely chop 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips in processor. With machine running, add butter, then 1/2 cup sugar through feed tube. Add egg yolk and both extracts and process to blend. Using on/off turns, mix in walnuts, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Add flour mixture and process just until dough comes together, about 1 minute. Transfer dough to large bowl. Using hands, mix in remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
  • Using 1 tablespoon dough for each, shape dough into 1 1/4-inch-diameter balls. Press each dough ball to 1/2-inch thickness; dip 1 side into remaining 1/2 cup sugar to coat. Arrange cookies, sugar side up, on 2 ungreased baking sheets. Bake cookies until set and almost firm to touch, about 18 minutes; cool on racks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies. Look for butter with at least 80% butterfat, and use real vanilla extract, not imitation.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and tender.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create crispy edges and a chewy center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from becoming soft and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These chocolate chip shortbread cookies are a classic for a reason. They're easy to make, delicious, and perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your cookies turn out perfect every time.
