Delicious Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
Your journey to cookie bliss begins here! These shortbread cookies are not just easy to make, but they’re also incredibly delicious. Let’s gather our ingredients and get baking!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until fully combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand to form discs.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look a little soft, and that’s okay! They will firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Now that your kitchen smells heavenly and you’ve got a beautiful batch of cookies, it’s time to enjoy! Perfect alongside a cup of tea or coffee, these cookies will melt in your mouth and leave you craving more. Happy baking!
