Espresso Chocolate Chip Shortbread

Espresso Chocolate Chip Shortbread is a delectable dessert that combines the rich flavors of espresso and chocolate in a buttery shortbread cookie. This recipe is perfect for coffee and chocolate lovers who want to indulge in a sweet treat.

To make this delicious dessert, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and espresso powder until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the flour and mix until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Form the dough into a log shape and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Once chilled, slice the dough into 1/4-inch rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
The Espresso Chocolate Chip Shortbread cookies are a perfect combination of buttery, crumbly, and chocolatey goodness. The espresso flavor adds a subtle kick to the cookies, making them a perfect accompaniment to a cup of coffee or tea.
