chocolate shortbread cookies

These chocolate shortbread cookies are buttery and crisp with a melt in the mouth texture. Made with just 6 ingredients these cookies get done in less than 20 minutes. A fuss-free recipe that needs no chilling or special equipment.

Chocolate Shortbread Cookies

Unsalted butter ((2 sticks) room temperature)

Powdered sugar

All purpose flour / plain flour

tbsp Cocoa powder

tbsp Cornstarch

tsp Vanilla extract ((try clear vanilla))

sugar

Preheat the oven to 170 C/340 F.

In a bowl using a spatula or whisk, cream butter for a minute then add the powdered sugar.

Add the vanilla or (rose) flavoring. Followed by the flour, cocoa, and cornstarch. Combine well and shape into a ball. Tip - all flour absorbs moisture differently so if necessary add one to two tsp of water if the dough is dry.

Make 32 cookies - Divide dough into four and each into another four. Continue to divide until you have 32 pieces. Tip - I like small shortbread cookies but you can also make these fewer and bigger in size

Roll each piece of dough into a ball and flatten it on the palm of your hand. Gently dap the flat cookie into granulated sugar.

Place on a baking tray. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Cool in the tray for 5 minutes then cool completely on a cooling rack before you store in a cookie jar.
