Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams Unsalted butter
- 60 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, beat the unsalted butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar and beat again until fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
Mix in the pure vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt to combine. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Roll small, bite-sized balls of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 1 inch apart.
Using a fork, gently flatten the tops of the cookies to create a slight pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake as shortbread is meant to be soft and tender.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee!
