Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a crumbly but cohesive dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the Toll House chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula or your hands.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center looks set.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the shortbread to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut into 16 equal squares. Serve and enjoy!
