I wasn't originally going to post these cookies, but my arm was twisted by some Hungry Puppies that I know. And they are totally right. These cookies need to be shared. These toffee and chocolate studded shortbread cookies are wonderfully simple to make, and absolutely delicious. Not to mention good looking too! They don't need to be dipped in chocolate, as they stand alone beautifully, so whatever you prefer or have time for.
Chocolate Chip Toffee Shortbread Cookies
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
1/2 cup toffee bits
1 1/2 teaspoons shortening
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Beat in the flour, until just combined, then beat in the mini chocolate chips and toffee bits.
Using a 1 tablespoon size cookies scoop, scoop the dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand. These cookies will not spread, so you can place them a bit closer together than normal. Place cookies in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Place the shortening and chocolate chips in a small bowl, and microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Dip each cooled shortbread cookie into the chocolate halfway. Place the dipped cookies on a piece of wax paper until the chocolate is set. Makes about 18 cookies.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
