Chocolate Chip Shortbread

Ingredients
2 sticks of butter, softened
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
1/2 tsp of vanilla
2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of semisweet chocolate chips

Directions
Preheat oven to 350° degrees.

Lightly grease an 8"x 8" pan and set aside. Combine the butter and powdered sugar. Mix until it's a creamy consistency. Add the vanilla and mix until well blended and then add the flour. Combine all ingredients until the mixture forms a soft dough.

Add the chocolate chips to the pan and spread them out to cover the entire bottom of the pan. Add the dough to be placed on top of the chocolate chips by flattening it in your hands and placing the dough to cover the entire width of the pan. Pat the dough to distribute it evenly. Poke holes into the dough with a fork so that it cooks evenly. Cook for approximately 30-35 minutes or until the dough is a light golden brown. Cool for about 30 minutes and enjoy with your favorite glass of milk or ice cream! Makes 9 servings. 

Note: The amount of chocolate chips used is based on your taste. Use half a cup if you don't want as much chocolate flavor in your shortbread.
