Triple Chocolate Shortbread Drops Recipes

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Combine butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla bean halves in a bowl. Beat on low speed until smooth. Gradually mix in sifted flour until incorporated and dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Do not overmix. Press dough evenly into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pale golden, about 18 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 12 minutes.
• While shortbread is cooling, preparing chocolate ganaches. Combine dark chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons cream in a small saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until melted and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with white chocolate chips and remaining cream in a second saucepan. Be careful that the chocolate does not scorch.
• Drizzle both ganaches liberally over the shortbread using 2 spoons. Allow chocolate to cool and set, about 10 minutes. Cut shortbread into squares.

CHOCOLATE SHORTBREAD SLICE

Steps:

• Line an 8cm x 20cm loaf tin with non-stick baking paper. Place the cream, chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat and stir until melted and smooth. Pour one-third of the chocolate mixture into the tin. Arrange half the shortbread in the tin. Pour half the remaining chocolate mixture over the shortbread. Repeat with the remaining shortbread and chocolate and smooth the top. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until set. Remove the slice from the tin and dust with cocoa. Slice, using a hot knife, to serve.

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium-size bowl. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugars, instant coffee and vanilla together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in melted chocolate.
• Stir in flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time, blending well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts, if desired. Cover and freeze or refrigerate until very firm, one to four hours.
• When ready to bake preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease four large baking sheets. Divide dough into sixths; refrigerate all but one portion.
• With floured hands, roll slightly rounded teaspoons of unrefrigerated dough into 1-inch balls. Arrange, 1 inch apart, on baking sheets. Repeat with remaining five portions of dough, keeping dough you're not working on refrigerated.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes, or until barely brown on the bottom. Do not overbake. Cookies will seem very soft, but will firm as they cool. Cool cookies on racks.
• Spoon about 1 teaspoon of glaze on each cookie and spread with back of the spoon. If desired, lightly sprinkle each cookie with grated chocolate. Let glaze set before storing cookies in an airtight container for up to one week. They can be frozen.
