Chocolate chip shortbread bliss cookies

When I first got the idea to start a blog to share cherished family recipes, I knew this one had to be first. I love when I walk in the door at my parents’ house and my mom lets me know she has made my ā€œspecial cookies.ā€ These buttery bites of chocolate chip shortbread bliss are the most-requested cookies from my mom Carol’s recipe box and the only cookie I simply cannot resist!

My mom has been baking these cookies for more than 25 years. They show up at grad parties, family celebrations, holidays and on the dozens of ā€œtreat traysā€ that she delivers all around her small town to friends and family who need a little pick-me-up.

One of the best parts? These melt-in-your-mouth cookies are so easy to make with only a handful of ingredients. Even better? Making a double batch so you have plenty for yourself and to share with a friend.
