Mini-Shortbread Chocolate Chip Cookie Balls Recipe

Cookies are good.

I like that a cookie can be many things. It can be chewy. It can be crisp. It can be frosted, or plain. It can be shaped, cut, or plopped on a cookie sheet.

I like that cookies are delicious.

I have a friend who makes cookie dough, puts it in her refrigerator and each night bakes her family one dozen cookies. What a gift of love, warm cookies!

This cookie recipe is easy. It makes small shortbread chocolate chip balls.

These cookies offer the perfect shortbread taste with just the right amount of chocolate. They require few ingredients and are simple to mix and easy to bake. They also freeze great!
