Ingredients

12 servings

•

2 cups all-purpose flour
•

1 cup butter, softened
•

½ cup confectioners' sugar

•

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•

1 (12 ounce) package miniature chocolate chips, divided
•

1 tablespoon vegetable shortening

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix flour, butter, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until dough is smooth. Reserve 1/4 the chocolate chips; stir remaining chips into dough until evenly distributed. Roll dough into 24 small logs and place a baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until slightly golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
Melt shortening in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; stir in reserved chocolate chips until melted, about 5 minutes. Dip cookies into chocolate and return to baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm.
