Description
These crispy and melt-in-your-mouth chocolate shortbread cookies are your perfect chocolate holiday treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup soft butter
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Cream the butter and the sugars until light and fluffy
- Add the vanilla extract
- Mix in the flour and the cocoa powder until you obtain a nice ball of dough
- Spread the dough using a rolling pin on your counter and using a cookie cutter, cut out the dough before placing it on the baking sheet
- Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes and then, let them cool on a cooling rack
Notes
1. If your dough seems a little too sticky to work with, I would recommend just chilling it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
2. If you like a softer shortbread cookie, bake them for only 12-13 minutes. If you like a crispier cookie, bake for 14-15 minutes.
3. If you want to dip or drizzle chocolate on your cookies, I’d recommend melting your chocolate with a bit of coconut oil. It will make the chocolate a little runnier and easier to drizzle (especially) on the cookies.
