If you have room in your Christmas cookie box for these skinny sticks, you will love these. A small amount of honey in these Chocolate Chip Shortbread <\/strong>give them a graham cracker flavor and the perfect snap and crumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chocolate<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I came to shortbread late in life. This was because I was first swayed by chocolate sugar cookies<\/a><\/span> and peanut butter chocolate chip cookies<\/a><\/span>. I can’t believe I skipped over these rich crumbly little cookies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those that already love shortbread bars, please note that this specific recipe is special because I add 2 tablespoons of honey<\/strong> to the batter. This sticky addition makes the edges of the cookie slightly more crisp, and gives a graham cracker-like taste to the shortbread sticks. Plus, we’re using powdered sugar instead of regular sugar for more tender, crumbly cookies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortbread bars look unassuming. They look plain and one-note. However, if you use the right butter (high quality), a higher than normal amount of salt, and aren’t afraid to bake until golden brown, you will be surprised at how complex they taste!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
