Yummy Chocolate Chunk Shortbread

Chocolate Chunk Shortbread



These shortbread are the perfect crumbly texture and literally melt in your mouth.  They taste absolutely amazing and the chocolate chunks make the perfect addition. So if you fancy making a really tasty chocolate chunk shortbread then here is the recipe.



Ingredients:

~300g Plain flour
~100g Caster Sugar
~Pinch of salt
~250g Cold butter
~1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
 ~100g chocolate chunks
~ Cutter in any shape you want
~~~~~
Makes 15

Method:

1.  Pre heat oven to 150 degrees C.  Line 2 trays with baking parchment.

2. Place all the ingredients into a bowl and mix together until it becomes breadcrumbs and then just start to clump it together.



3.  Next add the chocolate chunks and mix in.
4.  Then bring the dough together into a ball.




5.  Knead briefly in the bowl, literally 30 seconds just to bring it together, the less the better in order to keep the shortbread short and crumbly.
6.  Dust a surface with plain flour, then using a rolling pin roll the dough out to roughly 1 cm thick.



7.  Then using any cutter of you choice cut out the shapes. Re roll out the dough until it is all used, but don't roll it out too many times because as before you want to keep the dough short.  Place the shortbread onto the prepared trays and then prick just the surface with a fork.  Then sprinkle a little bit of caster sugar onto each one.



8.  Place the shortbread in the oven for 25/30 mins, until just golden.







Enjoy
