Description Edit

Shortbread is a comfort food to me, because it was one of the cookies my mom made the most. This recipe adds another comfort food...chocolate! These are incredibly delicious and rich and make a lovely presentation.

Ingredients Edit

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Score each shortbread with sharp knife into 8 even wedges, but do not cut all the way through.
