Treat Tuesday-Coffee-Chocolate Chip Shortbread
It’s ok if you don’t like coffee, you will still enjoy this treat. It has the perfect amount of shortbread crunch with the gooeyness from the chocolate chips. Another bonus, it takes very little time to create.
You start with a traditional shortbread dough of flour and butter but add in instant espresso coffee grounds.
Next you toss in a cup of chocolate chips. You can use semi-sweet or bittersweet, I used the bittersweet because that was all I had in the pantry.
Then simply spread the dough evenly into the pan, look at the little specs of coffee! Bake until lightly browned. Let cool for 5 minutes and then cut into squares while warm.
Finally, melt about 1/4 cup of chocolate and drizzle over the top of the shortbread.
Super easy but amazing flavor. You can do this. Walk to the fridge and set the butter on the counter and let it come to room temperature while you answer a few more emails, run the kids to practice, throw in a load of laundry, and record your favorite guilty pleasure on tv. Now make the shortbread. C’mon, it’s Tuesday…Treat yourself!
