These cookies are so easy, quick, and delicious. Everywhere I take them, they get such good compliments. Thought I would share for those who might be called on to make cookies at the last minute with few ingredients on hand.
Shortbread Rounds
1 cup butter, softened
¼ cup sugar
2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup (6 oz--about half a bag) *Guittard Real Milk Chocolate Chips
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer at low to medium speed until light. Gradually add flour until combined. Stir in chips by hand. If dough seems dry or crumbly, it will stick together when shaped with your hand.
Using the palms of your hands, roll well rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets and bake 13-15 minutes. Cookies will still be pale. Let stand 2 minutes before removing from cookie sheet, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
*A note about the delicious Guittard milk chocolate chips: They are fabulous. They are very large chocolately chips that make the recipe. However, they are hard to find. Sometimes SuperTarget will have them. I've also seen them at Central Market (Texans), Tom Thumb, etc. However, if you absolutely can not find them, then use another good brand, such as Ghiradelli.
