Ingredients to make Chocolate Shortbread Cookies:
- 150 grams of butter
- 100 grams of sugar (½ cup)
- 1 egg
- 250 grams of flour
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 handful of chocolate chips
How to make Chocolate Shortbread Cookies:
- Soften the butter for a few seconds in the microwave so that it can be easily mixed (NOTE: it does not have to be liquid, just soft, if it is at room temperature it is not necessary to heat it). Place it in a bowl and beat it with the sugar. Then add the egg and vanilla essence.
- Tip: If you don’t have vanilla essence to add to the chocolate short bread mix, you can also appreciate a little vanilla bean.
- Then continue mixing and gradually add the flour. The result has to be a mass like the one in the photo, which does not stick to the hands and is soft. Take the dough and make a ball. Once the shape is made, wrap it in plastic wrap and leave it in the fridge for about an hour.
- Tip: If you see that the flour sticks, a good solution is to wet your hands with water and sprinkle some flour.
- When it’s ready, go kneading until it’s about half a centimeter thick. Here you can put the chocolate chips or chips, crushing them with the rolling pin so that they are well integrated into the dough. As we said at the beginning, you can make the nuggets yourself. If instead you want to try making them with white chocolate
- Then, cut the cookies in the shape you want. If you do not have cookie molds, we recommend that you buy these cookie molds that we offer you on the web. If not, you can improvise figures with a knife or you can simply use the round mouth of a glass.
- Tip: If you don’t have a cookie mold, you can also place them with the help of a spoon or form them with the palm of your hands.
- Finally, preheat the oven to 180°C and carefully place the cookies on a non-stick baking tray (or just dust the baking tray with flour). Bake the homemade cookies between 10 and 15 minutes, or until you see that they are golden.
- Let cool and enjoy these chocolate butter cookies! Comment how it has gone and if there is something that you consider can be modified or improved.
