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.

I feel honored to bake for the master chef/baker herself. Keep an eye out for these cookies as they will be coming your way soon. Do you want yours dipped in coconut, chopped walnuts or plain chocolate?

Maria Gingerelli says
After you bake logs, do you cut into pieces? how many?
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
I made about 100 small logs. The log is the cookie shape-no cutting.

How big do you make the logs? I’ve had these from a bakery as a kid and they were about 4-5in×1in maybe. I’m so excited to make these!

These are amazing!! A family recipe of ours for years!!! The only thing different we do is we dip both ends in chocolate and add an egg or 2 depending on the batch amount..
