Mini Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
Description
This mini chocolate chip shortbread cookie recipe doesn't include eggs. The cookies are buttery, tender, and chocolate-dipped, for a double dose of flavor.
Ingredients
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 cup butter, softened
•
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 (12 ounce) package miniature chocolate chips, divided
•
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Combine flour, butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Reserve ¼ chocolate chips; stir remaining ¾ chips into dough until evenly distributed. Roll dough into 24 small logs; place on a baking sheet.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until slightly golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
4
Melt shortening in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; stir in reserved ¼ chocolate chips until melted, about 5 minutes. Dip cookies into melted chocolate; return to the baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm.
