Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookie Logs


Rating: 6 Stars
These sweet little cookies are surprisingly simple and delicious! I got the recipe at a cookie exchange at work this year and modified it slightly.


Ingredients:
1 cup softened butter
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
2 cups mini-semisweet chocolate chips
3 Tablespoons margarine
1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Cream together sugar and butter. Mix in the vanilla, flour and 1 cup of the mini chocolate chips. Shape dough into 2.5 inch logs or crescents. Bake 10-13 minutes until firm. Let cool for 3 minutes on cookie sheet. Transfer to cooling rack. Melt remaining mini-chocolate chips with margarine. Drizzle over cooling cookies and quickly sprinkle with chopped nuts.
