Delicious Chocolate Chip Shortbread Recipe | Easy & Quick

Ingredients

Servings:
14
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix the Butter and Sugar

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Add Vanilla and Salt

    Mix in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.

    Scrape down the sides of the bowl to combine well.
  4. Incorporate Flour

    Gradually add the sifted all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined.

    Avoid overmixing to keep the shortbread tender.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips

    Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula.

    Make sure the chips are evenly distributed.
  6. Shape the Dough

    Press the dough into a greased or lined baking dish, smoothing the top.

    You can also roll the dough into logs for slice-and-bake cookies.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden.

    Check for doneness at the 20-minute mark.
  8. Cool and Cut

    Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then cut into squares or rectangles.

    Let cool completely on a wire rack.
