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 outstanding! Entire family said don’t lose this recipe! My only problem is after they baked my edges weren’t as sharp and clean cut. What did I do wrong
These are simply divine. They are, by far, my most requested cookie that I make (and I make a lot of cookies). Thank you so much for such a deliciously sinful treat!
Delicious!! I decided to make these a few weeks ago and haven’t stopped thinking about them ever since! x
Super!!!! Thank you 🌷
Melt in ur mouth goodness for sure and easy to do
I’m making these today to ship to my parents (I’m in CA; they live in MI) and I’m wondering how these ship? Any tips with packaging?
Did you find out how to chip these cookies to a family?
Made 4 Batches. The first was cut as suggested but on the bigger side of a cookie. The next three made smaller cookies perfect with a cup of coffee or tea. Good to have on hand when someone stops by. Loved them. Great for the chocolate lover in all of us.
This is a very good shortbread recipe. I will very make these again.
Might you have a suggested bake time if I wanted to try making these half as big (40 cookies, instead of only 20) ?
These look yummy and I’m thinking might work well as wedding treats.
Thanks!
Really easy to make and delicious! Had guests over and served these for dessert with coffee. They could not say enough about them and wanted to know the name of the “Gourmet” store where we purchased them! Cannot say enough good things about this recipe!
