I have made these cookies numerous times over the years and they are one of my favorites because of their light and airy texture. They taste like a buttery shortbread ball with little chocolate chips. You can’t go wrong with this one!
Chocolate Chip Tea Cookies
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ lb. (2 sticks) butter
½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups miniature chocolate chips, divided
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add vanilla and mix well. Gradually add flour. Stir in 1 cup miniature chocolate chips.
Shape into 1” balls and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes.
Remove to wire rack to cool.
Place ½ cup miniature chocolate chips in a sealed plastic bag and microwave until melted; about 30 seconds. Snip off a small corner of the bag and drizzle chocolate on top of cold cookies. Chill for 5 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store at room temperature.

Stumbled Upon this recipe and promptly got up to make these delicious little cookies! Thanks for sharing!!
P.S. I added Heath chips (because I had some leftover from another project) and I couldn’t be any happier with how the cookies turned out!

Should I use salted or unsalted butter?
Hi Abby, Unsalted butter. You can add a pinch of salt to the recipe if you’d like.
How many does this recipe yield? I’m thinking of making these for a tea party.
Hi Angela, Depending on the size, it will make about 2 to 3 dozen.
