Mix in the vanilla.

In a separate bowl, whisk or sift together the flour and salt.

Add the flour and salt to the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until it comes together into a dough. Add the chocolate chips and mix in.

Roll the dough into a log about 2 inches in diameter (roll it wider or skinnier depending on how big you want your cookies). Roll the log in some wax paper.

Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Slice the log into 1/4 inch slices. Place the slices on the sheet. They don’t spread much, so they can be pretty close together.

Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to brown.

Remove from the pan and cool to room temp.[/fancy-ul][testimonial_slider style=”default”][testimonial title=”Testimonial” tab_id=”1485927059486-2″ name=”sshuit” quote=”For flakier shortbread substitute cornstarch for some of the flour. It really lightens the dough tremendously, also sift the flour and cornstarch together. I’d start at 25% and go from there.” id=””] Click the edit button to add your testimonial.
