Comment préparer Mexican Shortbread

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted margarine and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup fine cornmeal, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Press the dough evenly into an 8-inch pie plate.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
While the shortbread bakes, prepare the chocolate drizzle: In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 4 ounces of Mexican chocolate (or substitute: 1 ounce semisweet chocolate, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 drop almond extract) with ¼ cup whole milk, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Immediately after removing the shortbread from the oven, use a sharp knife to score the shortbread into 8 wedges while it's still warm and pliable.
Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the warm shortbread.
Let the shortbread cool completely in the pie plate before serving. The chocolate will set as it cools.
