Ingredient Notes

  • Use high-quality salted or unsalted butter, and add a judicious pinch of flaky sea salt to bring out the flavors. To achieve optimal outcomes, ensure the butter is thoroughly softened.
  • Use traditional all-purpose flour as the foundation for this tried-and-true recipe.
  • Pure vanilla extract delivers the most authentic flavor.
  • Opt instead for mini chocolate chips, as their smaller size is better suited to the delicate, crumbly texture of shortbread dough.
  • These chocolates melt effortlessly, boasting a velvety texture that earns them the top spot as our go-to selection. You’ll likely find them in the same aisle as the chocolate chips. Semi-sweet chocolate chips are a suitable alternative if you have a preference for them.

The Unique Technique

The excitement lies in rolling and shaping the dough within the confines of a plastic bag, adding an element of unpredictability to the process. Sealing the dough in a large resealable plastic bag, carefully extract most of the air to minimize oxidation and securely close the zip-lock. Spread the dough evenly across a sanitized surface, pressing it firmly with your palms to achieve a uniform thickness.

To achieve a consistently even texture, simply roll the bag smoothly with a rolling pin, carefully ironing out any lumps or rough patches that may have formed. After flattening the dough evenly, refrigerate it for 1-2 hours to allow it to firm up thoroughly. Once you’re satisfied, gently remove the plastic wrap to expose your precisely cooled dough sheet, poised for division into uniform portions and subsequent baking to a warm, golden brown.

Tips for Cutting

Once your dough has been rolled out and chilled, the key to precise cuts is an ultra-sharp pastry wheel or sharp knife. When chilled, dough becomes less adhesive and maintains its form more effectively when being cut into slices. When crafting perfect squares or rectangles, utilise a grid as your measuring stick.

For a festive touch or decorative flair, consider these options – simply dust them lightly with flour to prevent sticking and ensure a smooth finish. When crafting delicate forms, proceed with haste while the dough remains subtly cooled yet still malleable.

Dipping in Chocolate

Carefully grasp a cookie by one edge and submerge its midpoint or at an angle into the rich, velvety chocolate, ensuring an optimal balance of crunchy and decadent flavors. Allow any excess to drizzle away before transferring the confections onto parchment paper, where they can solidify in a neat arrangement. As the velvety chocolate coating glistens on your indulgent treat, feel free to unleash your creativity by drizzling an artistic amount onto the undipped side, or scattering a pinch of crushed nuts, toasted coconut flakes, or shimmering edible glitter across its surface, allowing the still-wet chocolate to bond with each added delight.

Variations and Add-Ins

Add a playful spin by substituting finely chopped nuts like pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts for the mini chocolate chips, or create a delightful combination that combines both options. As the holiday season approaches, a pinch of crushed candy canes sprinkled generously over rich chocolate creates a joyful and inviting treat. Consider adding a dash of flair: top with crushed nuts, toasted coconut flakes, or shimmering edible glitter as you pour in the melty chocolate. You can also create visually stunning treats by combining white chocolate and milk or dark chocolate in harmonious mixtures, topped off with contrasting drizzles that add a pop of color and surprise.

Storage Instructions

Leftover cooked chicken should be stored in an airtight container and kept at room temperature for no more than five days.

Arrange cooled cookies in a single layer within a freezer-safe container, interlayering them with parchment paper to preclude sticking. Preserved for a duration of three months or less. Thawing recommended; serve at room temperature.
