Mini Chocolate Chip Shortbread...

You can make dough ahead time and freeze it. Defrost when ready to use and follow baking instructions.

3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, set aside. In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients, then stir in the walnuts and chocolate chips.

Roll or scoop dough into walnut sized balls. Place them on unprepared cookie sheets 1 1/2 inches apart.

Flatten cookies slightly. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until light golden brown. Remove from sheets to cool on racks.
