How to Make Chocolate Chip Shortbread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two 8-inch round baking pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the dough in half.
  8. Press each half into one of the prepared 8-inch round pans.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. While still warm, use a sharp knife to score each shortbread into 8 even wedges, without cutting all the way through.
  11. Let cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  12. Invert the shortbread onto the wire rack to cool completely before breaking into wedges.
