Time 2h35m

Yield 18 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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 rescore 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 thescored 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.

CHOCOLATE-CHUNK SHORTBREAD

Bittersweet chocolate adds a layer of sophistication to this classic cookie.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 32 bars

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
9 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Sift together flour and salt into a medium bowl. Beat butter with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add sugar gradually, beating between additions; continue to beat until mixture is very pale, about 2 minutes total. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture; beat until just combined.
  • After beating in the flour, beat in 4 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate (3/4 cup). Press dough evenly into a parchment-lined 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet; refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes. Cut dough in eighths lengthwise, then quarters crosswise, making 32 rectangles. Evenly pierce all over with a skewer.
  • Bake until shortbread is firm in center and golden brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer pan to a wire rack; immediately recut rectangles with a paring knife. Let shortbread cool completely in pan.
  • Melt 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate. Dip bars into chocolate, place on parchment-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips: This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high percentage of cacao solids.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help the cookies get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set in the center.

Conclusion:

These mini chocolate chip shortbread cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make, delicious, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a quick snack or a special dessert, these cookies are sure to hit the spot.
