A buttery flaky chocolate chip shortbread cookie, the chocolate chips add just a little something extra when you bite into that chocolate morsel.
I’ve got another delicious cookie recipe for you today. A buttery flaky shortbread cookie with chocolate chips. Just so you know, short bread cookies aren’t my favorite type of cookie, they are good but most of the time I’d rather have a traditional soft and gooey chocolate chip cookie instead. But as far as short bread cookies go, these are really some of the best, if not the absolute best I’ve ever had.
The chocolate chips in these cookies add the perfect little extra something. When you bite into a delicious little morsel, well, who doesn’t love chocolate. And guess what, I even melted some chocolate and dipped half of some of the cookies in chocolate, because you can always have even more chocolate. (What I won’t tell you is that my chocolate never completely hardened outside of the fridge. My house was too hot yesterday – it was like 85 outside and so the coconut oil I used in my chocolate wouldn’t allow the chocolate to get hard. Supposedly it is liquid at 77 and solid at 76, so apparently my house or at least my kitchen was 77 degrees yesterday. Hot! And thus I had a semi chocolately mess on my hands. But I didn’t tell you that.)

Does anyone here remember Mother’s Chocolate Chip Angel Cookies?? Is this recipe close? I loved those cookies!
Aimee says
I haven’t tried those cookies, so I can’t say for sure!
Diane Pretak says
Do you use unsalted butter or salted?
Aimee Berrett says
I always use unsalted if I can because different salted butters have different amount of added salt and I like knowing exactly how much is added
Christine carney says
Do u use milk chocolate chips or simi-sweet
Chips or does it matter
Aimee Berrett says
It shouldn’t matter at all, I use milk chocolate beca use I prefer them, but whichever you like better is great!

I just made your shortbread chocolate chip cookies, and the dough is very dry and crumbly. It was impossible to roll them out.I just put a pile of “crumbs” on them counter too, and warmed them enough to be able to form a cookie. They fell apart on the cookie sheet, and looked awful after they were baked. They do taste wonderful, but I an wondering if you left out an ingredient? Thanks, Marci
aimeeberrett says
Sorry that the cookies didn’t turn out for you Marci. I double checked my recipe and can’t find any problems with it, but I do remember it being a little crumbly (its not soft like chocolate chip cookie dough) but it rolled together just fine. Sorry that it didn’t turn out for you. Did you make sure to do 2 full sticks of butter? Sorry I don’t have any other recommendations :/
Devra says
My dough seemed really crumbly at first, but if I kept mixing all of the sudden it came together into a creamy dough. I don’t know if that helps.
