Recipe: Tina’s Shortbread Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
– 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
4. Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log, approximately 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Remove the dough logs from the refrigerator and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Enjoy these delectable shortbread chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
