Easy Shortbread Cookies

I love making shortbread cookies. They are so flavorful and they just melt in your mouth. One reason I love them is because they aren’t overly sweet. Their classic, buttery taste is what makes them special. I also love that they are so simple. Only a few ingredients and no mixer required makes for some easy shortbread cookies!

These Chocolate Drizzled Easy Shortbread Cookies are one of my favorites. As if a buttery cookie isn’t decadent enough you go an add a little chocolate drizzle on top. They are super yum.

I love to cut out the cookies using holiday-themed cookie cutters. On this particular day I made heart shaped cookies that are perfect for Valentine’s Day. One reason why I like working with this particular dough is because you don’t really need to roll it out. You can just scoop out some dough and pat it down to the desired thickness.

Of course if you’d rather not go to all that trouble and want to make cookies in a hurry, just roll the dough into balls. I like to make them about golf ball size. Then use a glass to press them flat. Pop in the oven like usual and they will come out round.
