Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies
My co-worker was telling me about the cookies she just made. She was in shock I’d never heard of Alison Roman’s famous cookies… the salted chocolate chunk shortbread cookies… well, I looked them up and found both recipes on the NYtimes recipe as well as Epicurious/Bon Appetit, with a slight flour difference between the two- only 2 tbsp.
These cookies were in fact yummy, not as delicious as my friend talked about but, then again, I couldn’t just stop at one last night!
They are definitely so rich… I think I will have to make these a holiday cookie as part of my little give-away treats. However, I have some friends who forbid me to give any sweets 🙂
I hope you enjoy!
Salted Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies
Deliciously rich and salty sweet cookies

- 1 cup &2TBSp Salted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 21/2 cups flour

Instructions

Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper
Mix butter and sugars together on medium high till light and fluffy- about 5 mins. add vanilla, make sure to scrape down sides...
slowly add flour and make sure it's well blended. Add chocolate chunks
Divide dough in half, placing each half on a piece of plastic wrap. Form logs and stick in fridge for 2 hours.
Cut 1/2 inch thick circles.
Dip in egg wash then demura- then sprinkle flaky salt... I dipped each individually, but you can dit the whole log and then get the outsides crispy... I wanted the tops.
Bake at 350F for 12-16 mins... let cool.
