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.

  • 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.

CHOCOLATE CHIP SHORTBREAD

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h35m

Yield 18 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch-square baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides.
  • Beat the butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the confectioners' sugar and beat until just incorporated. Add the flour in 2 batches and beat until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
  • Lightly dust your hands with flour and press the dough into the prepared pan. Score the top with a knife to make 9 strips, then score the strips in half to make 18 pieces. Bake until the edges are firm and the top is dry, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Immediately rescore the cookies, then let cool 20 minutes in the pan. Lift the foil to remove the shortbread from the pan and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Cut the shortbread into pieces along thescored lines. Put the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted. Drizzle over the shortbread and let stand until set, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before you start mixing. This will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before you store them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
