Simple Shortbread Cookies

Super easy and tasty shortbread cookies!
Course Dessert

Ingredients

Cookie

  • 1 cup Butter softened
  • 2 cups All purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Sugar

Chocolate Sauce

  • 1/2 package Dark chocolate or chocolate of choice
  • 2 tsp Shortening

Instructions

Cookie

  • Place butter into a large bowl. Add sugar and flour and shape into a ball. I found using my hands worked best!
  • Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Place your dough ball on a lightly floured surface and roll out with rolling pin. You will want your dough about 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
  • Place cookies on parchment paper to cool back to room temperature

Chocolate

  • Place chocolate and shortening in a microwave safe bowl and melt. Stir with a wooden spoon and ensure all of the chocolate has melted. Let cool slightly.
  • Dip cookies into chocolate sauce and lay on parchment paper to cool/set.

Notes

You can make your cookies thicker and sprinkle sugar on them prior to baking. I also went a step further and dipped the chocolate covered shortbread into peppermint pieces. DO not skip chilling your dough. It will help harden the butter and make it easier to roll.
