Easy whipped shortbread cookies with mini chocolate chips that are melt in your mouth delicious.

As you've probably surmised by the amount of cookie recipes on this site, my family loves cookies.  All kinds of cookies.  Here are few you might like to try Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies, or Levain Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies.

The light, crumbly, airy texture of these whipped shortbread cookies makes me feel like I'm at a fancy high tea in London.

Upon first bite of these light as air cookies, there's a delicate crumble with a light, but rich buttery taste.

The mini semi sweet chocolate chips are the perfect size for these cookies.

The texture of these cookies reminds me of my Mexican Wedding Cookies. Instead of pecans, chocolate chips provide the perfect complement to these light and fluffy cookies.

How to Make Whipped Shortbread Cookies

As you know, there are recipes for both shortbread with confectioners sugar and shortbread with granulated sugar.  The delicate texture of whipped shortbread cookies, is mainly because of the use of confectioner's sugar.  Plus, the confectioners sugar in this recipe is sifted, creating an even finer texture.

How to Decorate whipped shortbread cookies

These cookies would work well with both regular and mini sized semi sweet chocolate chips, as well as finely chopped pecans, or just plain.  They are flavorful enough to be eaten without any additions to the batter.

You can also decorate the top with a light glaze icing like the one I used in my Moist Pumpkin Bread with Browned Butter Maple Icing. The icing is delicate enough to drip down nicely on this cookie.  You will want to add the icing while the cookie is still slightly warm.

How to Store whipped shortbread cookies

I placed the cookies in an airtight rubbermaid container, and they  maintained their moist, crumbly texture very well for 3 days.

I can envision making these cookies to have with hot tea or coffee or gifting a tin of them at Christmastime.  They are so unique and absolutely delicious.

These cookies are really easy to whip up and are a nice change of pace from a more typical denser, and crunchier cookie.

Hope you enjoy!
