Chocolate Chip Shortbread Bites

January 29, 2019 By Betsy Cohen

Chocolate Chip Shortbread Bites are just what you need when you want a quick and easy recipe. Perfect for entertaining or just popping!Chocolate Chip Shortbread Bites

It’s that time of year for one of my favorite holidays…Super Bowl! My Beloved Browns are not playing but I will still have fun while popping these Chocolate Chip Shortbread Bites throughout the festivities.

Did you know that shortbread cookies do not use eggs? I had that wording wrong for my Mocha Shortbread Cookies and Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies. It’s great to learn something new. 

There are many shortbread recipes out there that use only three ingredients; butter, sugar (some use confectioners while others use granulated sugar) and flour. As I bake with unsalted butter, I included salt in my recipe.

Chocolate Chip Shortbread Bites wouldn’t really earn their name if there weren’t a ton of chocolate chips and since vanilla brings out the best in chocolate chip cookies, I added some of this, as well. 

I think everyone gets that I am a fan of using the fewest pots and pans possible to acheive a baking goal. Why waste a pan to shape the dough when I could simply press the dough into an 8″ x 10″ block? Be sure to freeze the dough briefly before cutting the bite size pieces and then, once they are cut, spread them out and bake.

If you are not a Super Bowl fan, no worries. Chocolate Chip Shortbread Bites will be perfect every other day of the year, too!

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over.
