Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Shortbread Cookies created by tracylynndeis

Have you ever purchased this cookie mix?! These cookies are delicious. I was curious on how to make them from scratch and I got this one from my bf's mom.

ingredients

2 cups unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
¹⁄₂ cup cornstarch
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
semisweet chocolate chunks (or drops) or milk chocolate pieces (or drops)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt

directions

Preheat oven to 350°F Line 2-3 cookie sheets with parchment.
Cream butter and vanilla with mixer. In a separate bowl, sift together powdered sugar, cornstarch, flour and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to butter, beating constantly on high until the batter is the consistency of whipped butter (about 5 minutes).
Drop dough by heaping teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until cookies begin to turn golden on edges.
Immediately after removing cookies from oven, press one chocolate piece into the center of each cookie. Cool completely.
Enjoy with milk!

The Aldi market stopped handling these Ghirardelli Shortbread cookie Mixes and now label the same product under their Bakers Choice label. The bakes cookies crack into pieces as they are being handled. I miss the Ghirardelli label.

I used 4 cups of flour and that seems to be the right consistency from what i remember the box mix looking like. I also drizzled chocolate on the cookies and they are delicious.

do you thumbprint before or after baking. I have the chocolate discs and want to make sure they will melt.

This recipe tastes just like the mix, which we love! Unfortunately, we have not been able to find any this year. The only problem, is the texture. Very sandy, even when cooled completely. But, great flavor!

I love this recipe, and it tastes just like the mix! I did not have a problem with them crumbling at all, but you do have to wait until the cookies cool. (But isn't that the case with all cookies?)
