Bakery Shortbread with Chocolate Chips

Ingredients

serves makes 14 cookies, active time 15 minutes, total time 1 hour
  • 1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
  • 12 tablespoons (6 ounces) unsalted butter, very soft
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  3. Place chocolate chips in shallow bowl. Slice dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds, press into chips, and place on pan spacing about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake until set and light golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cookies cool on pans 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
