Shortbread cookies are one of my favorite type of cookies, because of the buttery flaky flavor of the shortbread. Instead of classic shortbread cookies, these cookies are filled with chocolate chips. Making them the perfect cross between a buttery shortbread cookie, and a classic chocolate chip cookie. These would make a great Christmas cookie, or everyday cookie to bake with your family.
The dough for these cookies is just like making a classic shortbread cookie dough. The butter is mixed with sugar until light and fluffy, add in vanilla extract along with flour, salt, and milk. Mix until a thick dough forms. Fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough and roll the dough into balls. Flatten each cookie slightly and place at least 2-inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake until the center comes out clean with a toothpick.
