Description

These buttery chocolate chip shortbread cookies are rich, delicious, and irresistible! Make the dough ahead, freeze, and bake when ready.

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2 Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
3 Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a medium bowl until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in flour mixture in two batches, then stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
4 Roll or scoop dough into walnut-sized balls and place 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Press on each cookie slightly to flatten.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
6 Remove from the oven and transfer to wire racks to cool.
