Easy slice and bake Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookie Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the salted butter and coarse sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the semisweet chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log about 2 inches in diameter.

Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Once chilled, slice the log into 1/4 inch thick rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
