CHOCOLATE CHIP SHORTBREAD COOKIES

These cookies look so fancy and impressive, but guess what? They only require a handful of ingredients and are super easy to make. You’ve got to love that! On top of all that, they are also super tasty. These are great for a tea party, baby shower, brunch, or just for a regular old treat.

I’ve dipped these cookies in melted chocolate. Specially, I used Ghirardelli’s melting wafers. You can use chocolate chips too, but wafers are just so easy to work with. You also don’t have to dip them in chocolate at all. It adds a fun and fancy finishing touch and a higher chocolate content, but you can also have these cookies plain as well.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter softened
• 2/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
• 8 oz melting chocolate wafers

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in vanilla extract and beat until combined.
2. Add in flour and mix just until flour disappears. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
3. Transfer dough to a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, or place between two layers of plastic wrap. Roll until 1/4 inch thick. Refrigerate on a flat surface until firm, about 1 to 2 hours.
