My dear husband loves his coffee and he always wants a pastry to go with it. We usually by something from the store but I recently came across a shortbread recipe and thought that they would go good with coffee. I just got done making them, and let me tell you.....they are super easy to make and even yummier to eat! These are so buttery that they practically melt in your mouth. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
Shortbread Logs
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar. Add vanilla. Gradually add flour; mix well.
With lightly floured hands, shape tablespoonfuls into 2-in. logs. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 9-11 minutes or until edges and bottom are lightly browned. Cool for 2-3 minutes before removing to wire racks. Cool completely and then continue to the next step.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and shortening/butter; stir until smooth. Drizzle chocolate over half of the cookies. Dip one end of remaining cookies into chocolate, then sprinkle with walnuts.
