Double Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
This is a guest post from Kirbie's Cravings.
A few months ago, I tried a recipe for chocolate chip shortbread cookies that I completely fell in love with. They were rich, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth.
This weekend, I thought about making a chocolate chocolate chip version of the shortbread cookies. These were just as delicious and I loved the extra chocolate punch.The cookies are super easy to make, but you do need to refrigerate the dough to let it firm up. These cookies are definitely on my favorites list.
Double Chocolate Chip Shortbread cookies
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Ingredients:
8 oz. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 tbsp dutch processed cocoa powder
3/4 cup mini chocolate chipsDirections:
1. In a stand mixer, beat butter and confectioners’ sugar together on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until the mixture is very smooth. Beat in vanilla, then reduce mixer speed to low and add flour and cocoa powder, mixing only until it disappears into the dough.
2. Fold in the chocolate chips with a large spoon or spatula.
3. Gather dough and place in between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll the dough into a rectangle shape that’s 1/4 inch thick.
4. Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours (I transferred the parchment paper and dough onto a cookie sheet for support and stuck it in the fridge so that the dough would not break/bend).
5. After dough is firm, preheat the oven to 325°F. Cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch squares.
6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until they turn golden brown around the edges. Makes about 3 dozen.Adapted from Use Real Butter

Chocolate cookies are my all-time fave.
Promotional pens are a perfect item for start up companies, and smaller business, as they are cost efficient when purchased in either small or large qualities.ugg , They make for wonderful advertising tools and should become a part of your regular order when you are replenishing your business cards and stationary. Although promotional pens are a great choice for smaller and newer business, they are effective for businesses of all sizes and all experience levels.
Everyone feels that they can never have enough pens laying around. For this reason they are always looking to pick free ones up at banks, casino, or office. If you lose a free pen, it will be picked up by someone else, so the message on it is read by multiple people. That reduces overall cost per impression in the advertising plan, but might be a little hard to calculate because you never know where or how far the printed pens will travel!
Pens are available in an array of shapes, sizes, and colors. They can be click point, straight, or designer. There are pens that are made into a keychain or laser pointer - the choices are endless.
Pens and pencils have been used for advertising purposes for over a century in the US, and are one of the first things that come to mind when putting together a promotional campaign because of their low cost. Not only are these items a great way to spread your business name and information, they are also something that many customer look for when they are doing business with a company.
omg... waaant!
