Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Shortbread Cookies are delicate, flaky & buttery. This easy recipe uses 6 basic ingredients that you probably already have on hand!

Provided by Jennifer Farley

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 1/4 ounces all-purpose flour ((approximately 1 1/4 cup) )
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 ounces unsalted butter, cubed and at room temperature
2 ounces confectioners' sugar ((scant 1/2 cup) )
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer speed down to low. Add the vanilla, followed by the flour mixture and the oatmeal. Once the ingredients are incorporated, turn off the machine and scrape down the sides. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the chocolate chip. Once they've been added, turn off the mixture and stir the dough a few times with a spatula to make sure the chips are evenly incorporated.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the dough evenly onto the baking sheet. Once all of the dough has been portioned out, use the palm of your hand to flatten the cookies into discs. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. The cookies won't spread out too much, but space them out by approximately 1 inch. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden on top. Allow to cool to room temperature.

OATMEAL SHORTBREAD



Oatmeal Shortbread image

Add these delicious shortbread cookies to your cookie jar.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 32

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325. Spread oats on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast until fragrant and lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, salt, and 1/2 cup cooled oats; process until finely ground, 1 minute. Add butter. Pulse until mixture is the consistency of coarse meal. Transfer to an 8-inch square baking pan; press firmly into bottom. Sprinkle remaining oats on top, and press gently.
  • Bake until firm and lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Using a paring knife, immediately score shortbread into 16 squares; then score each square diagonally into 2 triangles. On a wire rack, cool completely in pan; gently invert, and break along scored lines.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture and flavor. Quick oats will also work, but they will produce a softer cookie.
  • Be sure to toast the oats before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crispy.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can roll the oats in a blender or chop them finely with a knife.
  • The dough for these cookies is very sticky. If it's too difficult to handle, you can chill it for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Be sure to chill the cookies for at least 30 minutes before baking them. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These Mum's Oatmeal Shortbread Cookies are a classic recipe that is sure to please everyone. They are easy to make and packed with flavor. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, these cookies are sure to become a favorite.
