Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need:

2 cups of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of confectioners’ sugar
1 cup of butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla extract until a crumbly mixture forms. Gently stir in the chocolate chunks until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Using your hands, form the dough into a ball and place it onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough until it is about 1/2-inch thick. Cut the dough into desired shapes and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. You can press any remaining chocolate chunks into the dough if desired.

Bake the shortbread for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy with a warm cup of tea or hot cocoa.
