Chocolate Dipped Toffee Shortbread Cookies
These Chocolate Dipped Toffee Shortbread Cookies are easy to make and so delicious! This recipe is perfect for Christmas, Valentine's Day or any day, really!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup butter cold, cubed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup skor toffee bits
To decorate:
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons vegetable shortening
- skor toffee bits, to sprinkle on melted chocolate
Instructions
- In a food processor, add the flour and sugar and pulse to combine. Add the cold butter and continue to pulse until it resembles a coarse meal. Add the vanilla extract and milk and pulse to combine.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl and sprinkle with 1/3 cup skor bits. Knead it by hand to form it into a ball. The heat from your hands will melt the butter and help the dough come together. If needed, you can add some more milk.
- Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a log about 2 inches thick in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 1/2-2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 325F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut the cookie logs into slices about 1/4 inch thick and arrange on the baking sheets. Bake for 12 minutes or until cookies are set but not overcooked.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on a baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- In a double boiler, melt chocolate and vegetable shortening until smooth. Dip the cookies about 1/2 of the way and set back down on the parchment lined baking sheet to cool. Sprinkle with additional skor bits before the chocolate dries. Let the cookies sit for 1-2 hours for the chocolate to set or place in the fridge to speed up the process.
