The buttery goodness of shortbread is one of my favorite parts of the holidays.  This recipe adds all of that + chocolate! You will love how easy these are to make and store well – perfect to make ahead. A perfect shortbread recipe everyone will enjoy.

Chocolate Chip Shortbread

Ingredients

  • 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

Chocolate Chip Shortbread

Directions

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 re-score 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 the scored 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.

    Your treats always look delicious. I think I need to pick and choose which ones I make otherwise it will be a long hard road getting rid of my muffintop, lol.
    Thank you always

    we love shortbread too, somehow we tend to make it mostly at easter for decorating egg shaped cookies but it’s yummy any time of the year!

    This might be the perfect way to combine my love of shortbread and my kids love of chocolate chip cookies-meaning I only bake once. Gonna try making these with a blend of kamut and light spelt flour, instead of AP. Will let you know if it works out!
