Shortbread Cookies



The original cookie is a traditional British biscuit usually made from one part white sugar, two parts butter, and three parts plain wheat flour.


These cookies are just an adaption of a buttery cookie with the addition of mini chocolate chips and such a delight!


I became addicted to these cookies after one bite!


The cookies taste the best when baked slightly still leaving the tops white and not browned.


You can adapt the cookie any way you prefer, if you're not a chocolate chip lover, leave them out.
