Description

These simple shortbread cookies are easy and delicious! They would make a perfect holiday gift for that sweet tooth on your list.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE COOKIES:
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¾ teaspoons Ground Cardamom
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • FOR THE TOPPINGS:
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips (or White Chocolate Chips)
  • ½ teaspoons Shortening
  • ⅓ cups Salted Pistachios, Shelled And Coarsely Chopped

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high for a full minute, until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and ground cardamom and mix. Add the flour and mix on medium-high until completely combined, another full minute.

Press dough in an even layer into the prepared pan. Bake until lightly golden, 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven. Immediately cut into 1 x 3 inch bars. Allow to cool completely.

Once bars are cooled, melt the chocolate with the shortening in a double boiler, stirring frequently as it heats. Dip the bars into the melted chocolate and shake to remove excess.

Place cookies on a wire rack and sprinkle with salted pistachios. Allow to set around one hour.
