Chocolate Chip Shortbread Recipe

Chocolate Chip Shortbread Recipe

Just took it out hot fresh from the oven ! It's a tray bake not a bread or a cake...It's like a giant cookie but of course, you have to cut it to eat it...unless you got a wide mouth...

Ingredients (Serves 8)

115 g/ 4 oz plain flour

55 g/ 2 oz cornflour

55 g/ 2oz golden caster sugar

115 g/ 4 oz butter, diced, plus extra for greasing

40 g/ 1 1/2 oz plain chocolate chips (or you can add as much as you want if your choco chip fan !)

Method

1) Sift the flour and cornflour into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar, then add the butter and rub it in until the mixture starts to bind together.

2) Turn into a greased 23 cm/ 9 inch loose-based fluted tart tin and press evenly over the base with a fork. Sprinkle with the chocolate chip and press them lightly into the surface.

3) Bake the shortbread in a preheated oven, 160 'C/ 325'F, for 35-40 minutes, or until cooked but not browned.Mark into 8 portions with a sharp knife. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
