Chocolate Shortbread Cookies



Ingredients:
1 cup softened unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
4 cups flour
melting chocolate as desired

Directions:
-preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-Mix softened butter, vanilla, and sugar until incorporated.
-Add flour and mix until dough is well mixed and forms a ball that pulls away from the paddle.
-Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut into desired shapes.
-Place cut cookies about 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet and bake for about 16 minutes... just until they have set and you notice they start to go golden on the bottoms.
-Allow cookies to cool on sheet for about 5 minutes before moving to cooling racks to fully cool before melting your chocolate and dipping cookies as desired.

The cookies themselves have a really nice texture, but I chose a milk chocolate and think I would really prefer something darker as it's just way too sweet on the cookie. I also have no idea how you get the chocolate smooth. As you can see I had lots of bubbles.
