Chocolate Shortbread

Cookie Recipes, Holiday Baking Recipes | 0 comments

I used to send away all the time, when I was a kid, for manufacturers recipes (now of course we can just look them up online) This recipe came from a Fry’s Cocoa booklet, and became a family classic in no time. Well come on – chocolate and shortbread in one cookie, what could be better than that? You can also roll the dough and cut with a cookie cutter – they look fancier that way. And if you want to be really fancy pop a walnut half or a red cherry half on the top before baking.
