I expect that, to purists, this isn’t truly “shortbread” because it’s not crispy and crumbly, but it’s made in a similar fashion, using essentially the same ingredients so I’m calling it shortbread and you can’t stop me.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter plus 1 T butter, brought to room temperature
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 t vanilla
- 1 2/3 cups flour
- 12 Oreos *
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
* You can really use any cookie here. I picked Oreos because they have a great flavor, and I happen to have some at home. You can use any kind you like, though. And the measurement isn’t exact – use as many as you’re feeling.
Directions
Spraying or butter and flour an 8” or 9” pan. Set that aside.Throw the butter, sugar, vanilla and flour into a large bowl and mix with your (clean) hands until the mixture is crumbly and pebbly.
Roughly crush your Oreos and throw them in, along with both kinds of chips and again mix with your hands until everything is well distributed. Note that the mixture will still be crumbly.
Transfer the dough to your prepared pan and smooth it out. Bake at 325 for about 20-25 minutes or until the edges just start to get golden brown.
Take the pan out of the oven and move it to a wire rack to cool completely. But you don’t have to wait – these are great at room temperature, but they’re also great warm. Try both! Make your choice and enjoy.
