Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup butter (softened)
• ¾ cup icing/powdered sugar (sifted)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups all purpose flour (at least 11% protein)
• 1 pinch salt*
• ¾ cup chocolate chips or chunks

  (115 grams)
• 3-4 ounces chocolate (melted)

Instructions

• 1 In the mixing bowl beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until creamy approximately
  3 minutes. Add the salt and flour and mix just to combine, add the chocolate
  chips or chunks and combine.
• 2 Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and roll into an 18 inch log,
  cut it into 2 logs, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for approximately 30-45
  minutes.
• 3 Remove the log (one at a time) from the fridge and slice ¼ inch slices and place
  on a parchment paper cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. While the oven is
  pre-heating refrigerate the cookies until the oven is hot, approximately 15-20
  minutes. Repeat with remaining log.
• 4 Pre-heat oven to 300F (150C).
• 5 Bake the cookies until a pale golden color. Approximately 15-20 minutes. Let
  cool 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
  Drizzle or dip with melted chocolate if desired. Chill the cookies 10-15 minutes
  for firm up the chocolate before serving. Enjoy!
