With the classic shortbread texture and a delicious buttery flavor, each bite is filled with chunks of rich semisweet chocolate, plenty of vanilla and a crisp coating of coarse sugar.

Ingredients

• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, very soft
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, or vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (do not over measure!)
• 4 ounces coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate
• 1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten with 1 teaspoon water (for coating the dough log)
• 1/4 cup turbinado or other coarse sugar for rolling
• Fine flake sea salt for garnish, optional

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the soft butter with an electric mixer for 1 minute or until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and salt. Blend on medium until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula, and blend again.
2. Add the flour in four additions and mix on low speed until incorporated. The dough will seem a little dry, but keep mixing as it comes together.
3. Add the chopped chocolate to the cookie dough and mix together using a wooden spoon, or you can fold it in using your hands.
