Chocolate Chip Shortbread

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened

• 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar

• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 1 3/4 cup flour

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Cream together butter, vanilla and 1/2 cup sugar with an electric mixer or standing mixer. In a separate bowl, combine flour and salt. Slowly add in dry ingredients to wet ingredients and beat until it’s a rough, crumbly mixture. Fold in chocolate chips with a spatula.

Butter two pie dishes and pour half of the batter into each dish. Firmly press mixture into the pie dish evenly to the edge. Cut into 8-10 wedges and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool for about 20 minutes and recut into wedges. Enjoy!
