I love this recipe as it is so very easy and so very yummy. It has been adapted from a little baking book that I received this year for my birthday from my good friend Charlotte. It doesn't take long to make and will have your kitchen smelling fabulous in no time. I like to bake these on a weekend to give us just a little treat before the week begins, and as it is quite a small recipe, it is perfect for when there is not much time and you don't want too much to tempt you as the week goes on.Happy baking!
Chocolate Chip Shortbread Squares
1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup corn starch (or corn flour depending on where you are from!)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup chopped chocolate (I just use the whole of a 100g chocolate bar)
1tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp white sugar
- Cut together the flours, sugar and butter until it is soft and crumbly.
- Mix in the chocolate.
- Press into a 7 inch square cake pan and prick all over with a fork.
- Mix together the cinnamon and sugar then sprinkle half over the shortbread.
- Bake in a 160 degree (C) oven for 20 - 25 min or until golden brown.
- While still hot, cut into squares in the pan. (I like to line my pan with baking paper so I can lift the whole thing out and not have to ruin my pan with cutting.)
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar over the shortbread and serve when cool.
