There’s just enough flour to hold it together, just enough brown sugar to suggest a chocolate chip cookie, and chunks of irregular chocolate pieces to “prevent chip congregation” (although, warmly, let me suggest that only a monster could hate such a thing). Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies are all the goodness of melt-in-your-mouth shortbread combined with a little bit of chocolate. I, too, added some salt, maybe about a teaspoon, and felt that it was justified. And that’s all that really matters in the end.

Also, most of your commenters are of the “this sounds good” variety; a comment that has zero value to those wanting to spend the time and money on a recipe. Does anyone have the metric measurements for these? But…our serrated knives aren’t especially sharp, so I tried our sharp paring knife and it worked perfectly!

It cut fine but the cookies are just average: shortbread & chocolate; there is no interplay between the two flavors and none of the enticing brown sugar notes of an actual chocolate chip cookie or wonderful chewy to crispness dynamic. The trick is measuring ingredients and then to mix well, and even if you are using a stand mixer, give the mix a hand mix at the end because bits of flour may be stuck at the bottom of the bowl, resulting in a crumblier second log.
