Chocolate Chip Shortbread

Trying different recipes is one of my favourite things to do, especially before Christmas. This one
foreshadows every carol, every snowflake, every Christmas card and good wishes.  And sooo easy. Freezes great, by the way, though don't freeze too long....about 2 months  I should say. Good for Christmas cookie bake offs, exchanges and open houses.

CHOCOLATE CHIP SHORTBREAD
1 lb softened butter
3/4 cup berry sugar
4 cups flour

Combine all together to make a pliable, if a bit crumbly dough. Press into a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Press down  firmly. Bake in 325 degree oven, for about 25 minutes.Check shortbread to see if you need to add more time. Edges may be light brown. That's okay, you re going to cut off the edges anyways.
    When you first bring out of the over, take a sharp steak knife and clice into squares or rectangles while the shortbread is hot. If it cools the cookie will crumble, as they say......Cool on wire rack.
Ho Ho Ho........
