Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar, or superfine sugar
- 2 Tbsp instant espresso powder, use 1 for a lighter coffee flavor
- 1 stick, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature and cut in pieces
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 or 2 tsp milk or half and half
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325F
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, briefly blend the dry ingredients.
- Add the butter and the vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix on low until the butter is incorporated. It will seem dry at first, until the butter has a chance to become thoroughly incorporated into the flour. Add in the milk or half and half a little at a time just until the dough comes together.
- Turn out onto a surface and mix in the chocolate chips with your hands, distributing well, but don't overwork the dough.
- Form the dough into a smooth 7 or 8 inch log, on top of parchment, plastic, or waxed paper.
- Roll the log of dough up with the paper and twist the ends to secure.
- Refrigerate for about 2 hours until firm.
- Slice the chilled dough into approximately 1/3 inch slices. Don't worry if the dough crumbles, just reform them on the baking sheet.
- Bake on a silpat or parchment lines baking sheet for about 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of your slices. Don't over bake, this shortbread should be silky and creamy, not crisp.
- Cool on a rack.
