Do I need a stand mixer to make chocolate chip shortbread cookies
You will need a hand mixer or stand mixer for this recipe to whip the butter and powdered sugar well.
Chocolate Chips:
We love adding chocolate chips to our shortbread cookies, but you can also make regular shortbread cookies without them.
Can I use cookie cutters?
These cookies retain their shape, which means you can cut them into squares or rectangles as shown, or you can use cookie cutters to create your own shapes. Smaller cookie cutters may require slightly shorter cooking times, so be sure to watch carefully.
Storage Instructions:
Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
