Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
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 a crumbly dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Transfer the dough onto a clean surface and shape it into a rough rectangle. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut the dough into your desired shape using cookie cutters or a knife. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Optional: If you prefer a polished finish, lightly sprinkle granulated sugar over the tops of the cookies before baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Avoid overbaking, as shortbread cookies should remain pale and tender.
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.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
