Steps:
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper (or aluminum foil). Beat butter, salt, pwd sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Add in flour 1 cup at a time until dough forms. Fold in ½ C. mini chocolate chips. Preheat oven to 350. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 20 minutes. Form dough into "fingers" using your hands-1/2 inch thick, length-2-3 inches works well. If dough gets too soft, just put in frig to chill again. Place cookies on sheet ¼ inch apart. Bake 8-10 minutes (mine were closer to 10-12) or until bottoms become golden brown (mine never did get very brown). Remove to wire rack to cool. While they are cooling, melt ½ C. chips (semi sweet or milk chocolate-your preference. I made some of each kind) in a small, heavy pot. Immediately dip one end of the cookie into the chocolate. Let the cookies set, about 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for dipping. A good melting chocolate or couverture chocolate will give you the best results.
- Make sure the chocolate is tempered before dipping the shortbread fingers. This will help the chocolate set smoothly and evenly.
- Dip the shortbread fingers in the chocolate one at a time, using a fork or dipping tool. Tap off any excess chocolate before placing the shortbread fingers on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the dipped shortbread fingers for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the chocolate set completely.
- Store the dipped shortbread fingers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Chocolate-dipped shortbread fingers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is both elegant and satisfying.
