Easter Vanilla Chocolate Chip Shortbread.

What’s better than shortbread?

Nothing.

Except chocolate-chip, mini-egg infused shortbread that is!

These buttery biscuits are melt-in-your-mouth heaven. The evenly distributed chocolate chips take them to a whole new level of delicious-ness. So if you’re craving a little bit of chocolate pre-Easter, give these a go!

I diiiiid add mini-eggs right at the end because, well, Easter wouldn’t be Easter without mini-eggs in my eyes. But of course, if you are a strict vegan, feel free to omit these – I won’t be offended.
