Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
This recipe for chocolate chip shortbread cookies is inspired by my special friend, Christine! She is the master of these and always spoils me with a few around Christmas! Can’t wait for them this year. Fingers crossed that I get my annual supply !!! The shortbread is very rich and buttery and is complemented beautifully with melted chocolate on the ends. This really is a dreamy cookie that you will want to make for the holidays! Especially if you make large platters as this recipe bakes up a huge bunch….like 100! Try these cookies as soon as possible! It is also good to know that these cookies freeze beautifully. You can make this batch (it makes a lot) and freeze some for future occasions. Choose a really high quality of chocolate for dipping, too.
Which chocolates should I dip in?
I recommend using Ghirardelli chocolate. I especially love to chop up the bars and melt them down for dipping.
