Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Fingers Recipes

CHOCOLATE DIPPED CHOCOLATE CHIP SHORTBREAD FINGERS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper (or aluminum foil). Beat butter, salt, pwd sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Add in flour 1 cup at a time until dough forms. Fold in ½ C. mini chocolate chips. Preheat oven to 350. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 20 minutes. Form dough into "fingers" using your hands-1/2 inch thick, length-2-3 inches works well. If dough gets too soft, just put in frig to chill again. Place cookies on sheet ¼ inch apart. Bake 8-10 minutes (mine were closer to 10-12) or until bottoms become golden brown (mine never did get very brown). Remove to wire rack to cool. While they are cooling, melt ½ C. chips (semi sweet or milk chocolate-your preference. I made some of each kind) in a small, heavy pot. Immediately dip one end of the cookie into the chocolate. Let the cookies set, about 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
