Ingredients
Scale
- For the Shortbread Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup toffee bits (such as Heath bits)
- Optional Toppings
- Melted chocolate for drizzling
- Extra toffee bits for garnish
Instructions
- Cream the softened butter, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until a soft, crumbly dough forms.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips and toffee bits.
- Shape the dough into a log (or two smaller logs), about 2 inches thick. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
- Chill the dough for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to slice.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Slice the chilled dough into 1/4–1/2 inch thick rounds and place them on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle extra toffee bits on top.
Notes
To prevent spreading, ensure the dough is well-chilled before slicing. For clean edges, use a sharp serrated knife. These cookies store beautifully in airtight tins, making them ideal for gifting. Add a drizzle of dark chocolate for a richer finish!
