Chocolate-Dipped Shortbread Cookies

Shortbread is one of those delectable treats that’s surprisingly easy and economical to make at home. Shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate include just one more simple step—and yet they feel a million times more special! Of course, you could skip that step altogether, because the buttery shortbread cookie is already so delicious. But glossy semisweet chocolate gives the cookies a classy finish, and it tastes wonderful, too. We like using cookie cutters to give our chocolate-dipped shortbread cookies fun shapes—especially if they’re going on Christmas trays or in cookie boxes. Speaking of which: If you’re baking for Christmas, don’t hesitate to read up on all of Betty’s best Christmas cookie recipes and tips.
