Choc Chunk Shortbread Biscuits
6/04/26
When you finish a long day at work, all you want is a little sweet treat to enjoy with a cup of tea when you get home. This is just the thing — a buttery shortbread biscuit with chunks of chocolate rolled in.
Ingredients
- 400 g plain flour
- 100 g caster sugar
- 300 g cold butter
- 150 g dark or milk chocolate, roughly chopped
- Pinch sea salt
Method
In a large mixing bowl, rub the flour, sugar and butter together until it resembles breadcrumbs, then press together with your hands until it starts to form a dough. Add the chocolate and salt and mix it through with your hands until well combined.
Tip out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and bring it together with your hands. Roll it into a sausage shape, then cover and chill for 30 minutes. Chilling the dough will make it easier to cut and stop the cookies from spreading out too much as they bake. If you are short on time, however, you can skip this step.
Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and slice it into thick rounds. Place onto a lined baking tray, spacing them apart, and bake at 180ºC (160ºC fan-forced) for 15 – 25 minutes, or until slightly golden on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the tray before carefully transferring them to a plate.
