Shortcrust pastry with chocolate chips is a tasty alternative to the classic shortcrust pastry.
The shortcrust pastry is a basic recipe used in pastry making for cookies, tart bases, baskets to fill, and filled rolls.
It is possible to make a version with the addition of cocoa, replacing part of the flour with about 30 g of unsweetened cocoa powder, but it would be better to use white chocolate chips for contrast.

Steps for Shortcrust Pastry with Chocolate Chips
To make the shortcrust pastry with chocolate chips, start by pouring the flour, sugar, and cold butter pieces into a bowl and quickly working them with your hands.
Add the eggs and salt, and using an electric mixer at medium speed, create crumbs. Do not work for more than a minute.
If the dough is still full of flour, add a tablespoon of water.
At this point, also add the chocolate chips to the dough, mixing them with your hands quickly.
Pour everything onto a work surface and compact the dough to obtain a smooth pastry, which will then rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes covered with kitchen film.
When the shortcrust pastry has rested, it is ready for baking.
With the help of a rolling pin, roll out a piece of pastry, keeping the remaining covered.
Roll until you obtain a pastry about 1/8 inch thick.
Now use cookie cutters to cut desired shapes.
Now place all the cookies on parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 356°F in a preheated static oven.
Let cool before consuming.
Store in a tin box for up to 4 days.
