Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
It is the time of year when a lot of people are baking cookies. I thought I would share one of my favorite cookie recipes with you. It takes the chocolate chip cookie to another level. Kind of dressed up for the holidays.
These little cookies are delicate and full of flavor. I will admit to being a big fan of shortbread cookies. I make a lot of different shortbread cookies for Christmas. This one is always on my list.
These are enhanced with mini chocolate chips and just melt in your mouth. I leave them as is, but you could add a drizzle of melted chocolate if you like. The cornstarch in the dough makes them extra tender.
Other options could include using mint chocolate chips or adding mint extract, almond extract, or even orange zest. These cookies are very versatile.
