Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies

Category: Cookies

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips


Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Pour the granulated sugar into a small bowl and set aside. Beat butter, brown sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually blend in flour and cornstarch. Stir in chocolate chips.

Form dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet 2 inches apart. Dip the bottom of a drinking glass into granulated sugar and press down gently on each cookie to flatten.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until edges of the cookies start to brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool. If desired, sprinkle each cookie with additional granulated sugar.

Makes 3 dozen 2-inch cookies.
