Description
Delicious mini chocolate chip shortbread cookies that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass or your fingers.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a fun twist, try adding a teaspoon of almond extract instead of vanilla for a different flavor profile.
- You can substitute half of the mini chocolate chips with chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
