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.

Best cookies ever !!!!
Great Cookie Recipe. I made these with the chocolate chip and I made the basic dough but added some Chinese five spice. Compliments all around. I was even asked if it was a secret family recipe.
I love all your recipes and these short reads are a definite keeper.
I made these and they are fantastic and so easy.
Absolutely love the plastic bag technique. I was so excited to proceed today with baking but the dough remained dry. In my fear of over working, I under worked. I added a small amount of butter and re-bagged. Crossing my fingers I get the splendid results that everyone else did! Tomorrow we are making your creamy spaghetti! Thank you for your charming videos and your great ideas for pleasing hungry families!
I have never been a very good baker. My baked goods are either under or overcooked. I’m always afraid they will be undercooked so I leave them in just a bit longer which makes them hard.
Your shortbread recipe looks simple to make and I will try the recipe and give them as Christmas gifts.
Is the melting chocolate semi-sweet or milk?
It is semi-sweet, but either would work.
Love these! These cookies are easy to make and taste wonderful! Sure to be a holiday favorite! 🤩
Dear Sweet Rachel…I will always be in your debt for posting this awesome recipe. I just wanted to tell you how easy, elegant and delicious I think it is! It’s now my “go to, impressive gift cookie!” THANK YOU❣
These are the best shortbread cookies! They are always a hit. I’m always asked to make them for bake sales and they charge more for them then the other cookies!
