Wow! We are already to Day 5 of our 25 days of Holiday Cookies and Treats! I hope you have been enjoying these sweet treats! Today we are sharing Chocolate Shortbread Cookies with white chocolate icing. Hello Yum!
John is a huge fan of shortbread cookies. I honestly never really think of them when I plan out my holiday baking. This year he mentioned multiple times how nice it would be to have a shortbread cookie……
So here we are with a Chocolate Shortbread Cookie with a White Chocolate drizzle.
One thing I love about these Chocolate Shortbread cookies is there is only 5 ingredients. They are crazy easy to make and taste pretty darn good. Well if you ask John they are amazing but he may be a bit biased since I baked his favorite cookies this year. 🙂

Should there be eggs in this recipe? I tried it and the dough was rather dry and rock like when it came out of the fridge. I have noticed that other recipes have eggs in them.

hi i am trying your chocolate shortbread cookie recipe. There is nowhere that says what temperature the oven is to be set for.
Serri says
You didn’t say what temperature to bake the cookies at

These cookies look amazing and I love how easy they are. Classic shortbread is one of my favorites but I don’t believe I have ever tried a chocolate version.
Danielle says
Hi there! What is the oven temperature please? Thanks?
