Day 20: Classic Shortbread (Hearts!)

I have a new cookie love! I took Food Networks Classic Shortbread recipe and turned it into heart cutouts... and jazzed it up with some chocolate dipping!



G ended up taking these to work. He sent me a text in the afternoon saying that the plate was spotless in no time!


The chocolate gaze was all eyeball measurements. I melted semisweet chocolate chips with a splash of cream and a pad of butter. It's a nice buttery complement to the shortbread, which is flaky, like a goooooooood pie crust.


I think these would also make an outstanding Valentines day treat!
