How to Make Milk Chocolate Shortbread Rounds

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer on low to medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Stir in 1 cup Guittard milk chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed.
  5. If the dough seems dry or crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it holds together when squeezed gently.
  6. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls using your palms.
  7. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain pale.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
