Chocolate Chip Shortbread
Recipe developed by The Beet Drop – Diane Garvey
Makes 15, 2” x 4” cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup softened plant-based butter
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
- Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth.
- Mix in flour.
- Mix in chocolate chips by hand.
- Put dough on parchment paper, and shape into a rectangle that is 2” tall and 4” wide. Wrap in parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 325° f.
- Remove chilled dough from the refrigerator and unwrap. Slice dough into ¼ – ½” thick slices. Place sliced cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet about 2” apart. 7. Bake for 18-22 min. Shortbread should be barely golden on the edges. Let cool on pan for 10 minutes. Finish cooling on cooling rack.
Tips/Notes
- For an almond flavor swap out half of the vanilla extract for almond extract. 2. For circular shortbread cookies, shape the dough into a log before chilling. 3. Store in airtight container for up to a week.
- These cookies freeze well. Just be sure to wrap well before freezing to avoid freezer burn.
- Add some flare to your cookies with a chocolate drizzle. Simply place ¼ cup chocolate chips in a small cup or bowl and microwave in 15-second increments, stirring well between each increment. Stop microwaving once most of the chips are melted. Get the rest to melt by stirring. Use a fork or spoon to drizzle shortbread with chocolate. I like to do this on my cooling rack, with parchment paper underneath for easy cleanup.
