For more incredible shortbread recipes, try our melt-in-your-mouth shortbread and holiday spiced almond shortbread cookies! To make them, we start by preparing a batch of our favorite Scottish shortbread cookies which requires only four simple ingredients. We cut them into classic rectangles and then bake them until they’re golden. Then the fun part: we dip them halfway in melted chocolate and sprinkle them with our favorite festive toppings. Make a big batch of these delicious chocolate dipped shortbread to share with friends and family around the holidays. They’re fun to serve and taste great with a cup of tea or hot chocolate!
Butter – we use regular salted butter, just make sure it’s room temperature so you can easily beat it with the sugars. Brown sugar and granulated sugar – we’ve tried different sugar combinations, and we’ve found the mix of brown sugar and granulated sugar to make the perfect balance of crisp yet tender cookies. All-purpose flour – any all-purpose flour will do the trick! Chocolate chips – we use chocolate chips but you can also use a chocolate bar broken into pieces or chopped semi-sweet baking chocolate. Butter or shortening – a little bit of extra butter or shortening improves the taste and texture of the chocolate. Flaky sea salt or sprinkles – these are optional but so fun and festive!
Crushed candy canes – use the back of a spoon to crush a couple of candy canes into tiny pieces. Cacao nibs – these crumbled bits of cacao beans offer a bittersweet crunch. Shredded coconut – for a little coconut flavor that looks like fresh snow! Crushed nuts – crushed pecans or pistachios offer a nutty crunch.
