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.

This is a family favorite now. Thanks for sharing.
*****by far, my new all time favorite cookie. Love shortbread cookies. Even though I’m a life long baker I have never tried baking shortbread cookies. Watched video first then followed recipe as printed. Excellent! Only thing changed is oven time. After checking a few times my total bake time was 29 minutes on the middle rack in my gas oven. Can’t wait to share with family and friends😍
These are one of the best cookies I’ve ever eaten, and can’t seem to stop eating them!! The recipe is so easy to follow thank you so much for making it so easy!!!! I am blessed to have found your cooking videos to teach me.
Relatively easy to make and delicious. I didn’t have mini chocolate chips, so I chopped up regular ones. It doesn’t specify what kind of chocolate to dip them in, so I did bittersweet, which worked out nicely. The baking time was off, they baked for probably 25 minutes. I kept a close eye on them and took them out when they just started to brown on the edges, as the recipe specified. The result was a cookie that was delicate and chocolatey, with a wonderful buttery finish. I am bringing them into my office tomorrow and I’m sure that they will go over very well.
Very good and easy to make.
I added the zest of one orange to the batter for color and a slightly citrus-y flavor profile.
I LOVE this recipe!!! Has become a staple Christmas cookie now. It’s easy and looks beautiful on a plate. Make great gifts too. I doubled the recipe and refrigerated the dough so that I could make fresh cookies thru the season. I also cut them into triangles and rectangles just to make them even prettier. Enjoy!!! Thanks again Rachel for another wonderful recipe!
Great recipe. They are my favorite cookies
One of my favorite cookie recipes! I added espresso powder (3/4t) in a double batch of this recipe-YUM❤️
As the shortbread is made with icing sugar they are very fragile and snap easy – you have to be very delicate when dipping into the chocolate but the taste is good.
I just made these and they are awesome! I wanted them with my morning coffee, so I left out chocolate chips and dusted half of them with powder sugar. The other half, I drizzled them with white icing.
I’ll be making these over and over again! and add the chocolate chips😉
What a great idea using the plastic bag very smart
