Orange Chocolate Chip Shortbread

Delight your taste buds with these irresistible orange-infused chocolate chip shortbread cookies. The zesty orange flavor perfectly complements the richness of the mini chocolate chips, creating a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Zest of 1 orange
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

Set the oven to 350F 175C and heat it up

Melt the butter and mix it with the powdered sugar in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy

Mix the orange zest and vanilla extract into the butter mixture until everything is well mixed together

Add the all-purpose flour slowly while mixing the ingredients together until a dough forms

Add the mini chocolate chips and mix them in so that they are spread out evenly in the dough

Make a log out of the dough or press it into a square baking pan and smooth the top

For a baking pan, use a knife to cut the dough into shortbread-sized pieces

After the oven is hot, bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden

Just take it out of the oven and let it cool for a while

When you use a baking pan, cut the shortbread carefully along the lines that have been scored while it is still warm

On a wire rack, let the shortbread cool completely before you serve it or store it

Serve and have fun
