Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies are all the goodness of melt-in-your-mouth shortbread combined with a little bit of chocolate. Your family will love these easy tasty cookies!
These cookies look so fancy and impressive, but guess what? They only require a handful of ingredients and are super easy to make. You’ve got to love that! On top of all that, they are also super tasty. These are great for a tea party, baby shower, brunch, or just for a regular old treat. We’ve dipped these cookies in melted chocolate, but you also don’t have to dip them in chocolate at all. It adds a fun and fancy finishing touch and a higher chocolate content, but you can also have these cookies plain as well.
Do I need a stand mixer to make Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
You will need either a hand mixer or a stand mixer for this recipe to adequate beat together the butter and powdered sugar.
Chocolate Chips:
We love adding chocolate chips to our shortbread cookies, but you can always make a plain shortbread cookie without them.
Can I use cookie cutters?
These cookies hold their shape which means you can cut them in squares or rectangles as shown, or you can use cookie cutters to come up with your own shape. Smaller cookie cutters may require a slightly shorter cooking time so be sure to watch them closely.
Storage Instructions:
Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

These are the best. Everyone loves these
Easy to make
Super easy and delicious. Thank you Stay at Home Chef.
After adding the flour, mine wasn’t crumbly like in the video…but I kept going… they still came out very good.. not sure if it tastes different had they come out crumbly … plus after cooling, 2 broke in half when dipping in chocolate… but they still tasted good lol. I took a pic but seems I can’t attach it..
These a absolutely wonderful! I have made them twice and everyone devoured them! I love your video and found them so easy to make!
They look so beautiful too. My new favorite shortbread cookie!
I tried it. Its so yummy , buttery, slightly crispu. I didnt dip in choc. I used my cookie hearts and star molds. Kids will surely love the shapes. My husband loved them. Much better than store-bought and so easy to bake.
DELICIOUS! Quick and easy enough for my 9 yr old grandaughter to make. 👍
These cookies are, hands down, the best! My daughter has an egg allergy, so I was looking for a special cookie to make for her without egg. These cookies were an absolute hit with her – she has tagged them as her all-time favorite! I’ve made them multiple times and they come out perfect every time!
fabulous — perfect crunch! and the melted chocolate — yum!!!
I loved these. Tried something different by dipping them first in melted Ghirardelli (White chocolate) peppermint chunks and then after set dipped them, on just the tip, with melted dark chocolate. Made them the size recommended in the recipe but will cut them in 1” bars next time. Just don’t need that big of a cookie and easier to eat in the narrower size. Definitely a keeper!
These are amazing! Sweet and crisp. I will make again.
