HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SHORTBREAD
This recipe has been in my files for a long time...probably from when I first learned to bake. Any chocolate lover will like these melt-in-your-mouth cookies. I make them year-round with variations. They're even richer with a thin coat of icing or as a sandwich cookie with frosting in the middle. -Sarah Bueckert, Austin, Manitoba

Steps:
- Add the vanilla and salt: On low speed, add the vanilla and salt and mix until combined.
- Chill the dough: Refrigerate the cookie logs for 1 hour or until firm.
- Preheat the oven and prepare the baking sheets: About ten minutes before the cookies finish chilling in the refrigerator, arrange two racks in the middle and bottom third of the oven and preheat it to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies: Bake for 10 minutes or until the cookies are set, rotating the pans between racks halfway through. The cookies will go from glossy and wet to dry and matte when baked properly. They will feel slightly soft out of the oven but should barely make an indent when gently tapped with your fingers. If they look shiny or feel too soft, continue baking them until firmed up, about 2 minutes.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Steps:
- All of the shortbreads are made in the same manner using an electric mixer. If you're making a shortbread with two kinds of flour, whisk the flours together.
- Working in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter, confectioners' sugar, salt and zest, if using, together on medium speed until soft, creamy and homogenous, scraping the bowl as needed. One by one, beat in the yolks, followed by the vanilla.
- Turn off the mixer, add the flour(s) all at once and mix on low speed only until incorporated. If you've got wheat germ, chocolate or flax seeds or nuts, mix in now.
- Scrape the dough out onto the work surface and divide it in two; the dough will be soft and sticky. Put each piece on a sheet of parchment and cajole it into a log that's 6 to 6 1⁄2 inches long, tightening the log with the paper and twisting the ends. Refrigerate the logs for at least 3 hours (overnight is better) or freeze them for 2 hours. (The logs can be frozen for up 2 months; slice when they're still frozen. You might need to add a minute to the oven time.)
- When you're ready to bake: Center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
- Using a chef's knife, cut each log into 1⁄2-inch-thick rounds. Lay them out on the baking sheet, leaving about an inch between them.
- Bake, rotating the cookie sheet after 10 minutes, for 21 to 23 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and set. The cookies will still be soft, so leave them on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack and allowing them to cool to room temperature. DO AHEAD: The cookies can be packed in an airtight container and kept at room temperature for at least 5 days.
TENDER CHOCOLATE SHORTBREAD
I love shortbread. I also love chocolate. Maida Heatter's Book of Great Chocolate Desserts provided what has become my favorite shortbread recipe. Chances are you have already have on hand everything you need to whip up a batch. She also says some of her friends like to add 1 teaspoon of dry instant espresso or other instant coffee (not granular). She also advises that you can omit the salt/vanilla! These are easy to make and have a nice strong chocolate flavor. The powdered sugar makes them tender and crumbly like Walkers or other Scottish shortbreads.

Steps:
- Adjust two racks to divide oven into thirds, preheat to 300 degrees.
- You can prepare this dough in a mixer or food processor (or by hand).
- Food Processor Method, using steel blade:.
- Place dry ingredients in processor bowl.
- Cut cold butter into 1/2 slices and drop into bowl.
- Add the vanilla.
- Cover and pulse just until all ingredients hold together.
- Electric Mixer Method (take butter out of fridge 20-30 minutes before mixing):.
- Cream butter in large mixer bowl.
- Add salt, sugar and vanilla and mix.
- Using low speed, add cocoa and flour.
- Make sure to scrape down the sides and beat only until the dough holds together.
- Turn out dough onto floured surface. Knead it briefly, if necessary, until it's very smooth. Roll it into a ball and flatten it a bit.
- Roll to an even 1/2" thickness. Use a 1 1/2" round or square floured cookie cutter for a yield of 35-40 cookies. Reroll scraps of dough, if any, and cut more cookies.
- Place cut cookes 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Prick each cookie in three rows (I line the rows up evenly)with a dinner fork. Fork should go all the way through to the cookie sheet for each row. Pop the sheet in the fridge for a few minutes if your fork sticks too much or if the cookies are losing shape when you prick them.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until firm to touch, rotating baking sheets top to bottom and front to back once. Be careful - since they're so dark in color it is easy for them to burn without much notice.
- If you use only one sheet, place on higher rack and reduce baking time.
- Place on rack to cool.
