Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
One can never have enough Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes in their recipe box. This is a buttery cookie full of mini chocolate chip cookies. There is even a little bit of peanut butter in the cookies. This is a small recipe, you are only going to get 1 1/2 dozen cookies so you might want to double it. You could also freeze some of the dough if you double it for cookies later anytime you need them.
Chocolate chips are teardrop shaped chocolate. They come in many flavors today and it seems that there is always a new one to try. So you can easily change the flavor of these cookies by adding a different flavor of chocolate chips. Chocolate chips can also be melted and melt best at temperatures between 104 and 113 °F. Because most chocolate chips are designed to retain their shape when baking, they contain less cocoa butter than baking chocolate.

These look so good! I love shortbread, and everyone loves chocolate chip, so what could be better!
Cookies are my weakness. These would be dangerous in my house. But I think I am going to have to risk it, they look so amazing! LOL
Thanks Kristin, good thing is the recipe only makes about 1 1/2 dozen cookies.

They were delish and I love the little bit of peanut butter in them and using the mini chocolate chips.

Means there are no eggs in this you could just eat the dough right?
That is totally up to you. If you’re worried about eating raw eggs then the answer would be yes because this recipe doesn’t have any.
