Costco Belgian Shortbread Cookies Copycat

/

Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, room temperature

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (I used Bob’s All-Purpose Unbleached flour)

  • 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter, sugar, and vanilla for 2 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in the flour, mixing until just combined.

  2. Stir in the chocolate chips evenly.

  3. Transfer the dough to a zip-top bag and chill for at least 2 hours. Alternatively, you can roll out the dough now, cut it into shapes, and then chill it. Both methods are effective.

  4. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  5. Roll the dough out into a large square, 1/3-inch thick. Cut the dough into squares with a knife, or use cookie cutters.

  6. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes.

  7. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
