Baking Time: 20-25 minutes
Cuisine Type: Scottish

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This may require some arm muscles – consider it your workout for the day.
Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well – count to ten and stir with gusto!
Gradually blend in the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until combined. Lose yourself in the zen of combining ingredients.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips. Make sure they’re evenly distributed, like confetti at a party.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it to a thickness of approximately 1/4 inch. Pretend you’re rolling out a treasure map!
Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut into desired shapes. If you cut out dinosaur shapes, send pics.
Place the shortbread shapes onto the prepared baking sheet. No overcrowding – cookies need personal space too!
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Patience, young grasshopper!

Cooking Tip: For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling out. Try not to snack too much on the dough – or do. Who’s watching anyway?
