Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup mini chocolate chips
• 0.125 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed, until the dough begins to come together. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into small balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 7

Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to create a small disc.

Step 8

Bake the cookies for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden. Avoid overbaking to maintain the shortbread's tender texture.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the Mini Chip Shortbread with a cup of tea, coffee, or as a delightful sweet treat on their own!
