CHOCOLATE CHIP SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch-square baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides.
• Beat the butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the confectioners' sugar and beat until just incorporated. Add the flour in 2 batches and beat until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
• Lightly dust your hands with flour and press the dough into the prepared pan. Score the top with a knife to make 9 strips, then score the strips in half to make 18 pieces. Bake until the edges are firm and the top is dry, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Immediately rescore the cookies, then let cool 20 minutes in the pan. Lift the foil to remove the shortbread from the pan and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Cut the shortbread into pieces along thescored lines. Put the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted. Drizzle over the shortbread and let stand until set, about 1 hour.

ROSEMARY CHOCOLATE CHIP SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Cream the butter with the sugar using a handheld mixer. Mix in the rosemary, salt, and flour, 1/4 cup at a time. Sprinkle in the chocolate chips, and stir by hand until well-distributed. Gather the dough into a ball. (If the dough begins to soften or feel greasy, chill the dough for 15 minutes.)
• Roll the dough out into a rectangle of 1/2-inch thickness and cut into rectangles about 1/2-inch by 2-inches. Place the dough pieces on a cold ungreased baking sheet. Prick the tops with a fork. Bake the shortbread until the dough starts to turn a golden color, about 25 minutes. Remove the shortbread from the baking sheet and let cool completely on a rack.

• Add in the mini chocolate chips; mix to combine.
• Drop by spoonfuls about 2-inches apart on the baking sheet.

CHOCOLATE CHIP SHORTBREAD COOKIES, GF RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large bowl with a hand mixer, place the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt, and beat on medium-high speed until very light and fluffy (about 3 minutes), stopping about halfway to scrape down the bowl. The mixture will lighten in color when it's truly fluffy. In a small bowl, place the flour, xanthan gum, and cornstarch, and whisk to combine. Add most of the flour mixture to the beaten butter and sugar mixture, reserving about 2 tablespoons in the bowl. Beat again until well-combined. The dough will seem crumbly at first, but just keep mixing until it comes together. Add the chopped chocolate to the bowl with the reserved dry ingredients and toss to coat, then transfer to the cookie dough. Mix again until the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. Divide the dough into two equal portions and place each on its own large sheet of plastic wrap. Press each piece of dough firmly together into a log about 2-inches in diameter and about 7-inches long. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until mostly firm, about an hour. When you're ready to bake the cookies, preheat your oven to 350°F. Line rimmed baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper and set them aside. Remove one piece of the dough from the refrigerator and unwrap the plastic wrap. Brush the entire log with the beaten egg in a thin layer and sprinkle the top of the log generously with the coarse sugar crystals. Using the plastic wrap, press the crystals into the dough. Turning the dough as many times as necessary, coat the entire log in the coarse sugar crystals. Using a large serrated knife, slice the dough by cross-section into about 8 disks, each a bit more than 1/2-inch thick. If the dough seems to be crumbling at the first cut, allow the dough to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes and try again. Place the disks about 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheets, flat side down, and reshape them as necessary into integrated rounds. Repeat with the other log of cookie dough. Place the baking sheets, one at a time, in the center of the preheated oven and bake for about 11 minutes or until the cookies are very lightly brown on the edges and set (not glistening) in the center. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. When the cookies first come out of the oven, if any seem misshapen, use a butter knife or soup spoon to coax the edges back into shape. Then allow the cookies to cool until set. Cook's Note: Chocolate wafers: The original recipe calls for chopped dark chocolate, but I really prefer chopped chocolate wafers because they make shaping and cutting the dough so much simpler. You can also use chocolate chips, but be sure to chop them as well or you'll find slicing the dough to be nearly impossible.
