How to Make Chocolate Dipped Hazelnut Shortbread Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the toasted and chopped hazelnuts.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the shortbread cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once the shortbread is completely cool, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Dip the bottom half of each cookie into the melted chocolate.
  12. Place the dipped cookies back onto the wire rack and let the chocolate set completely.
  13. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Dipped Hazelnut Shortbread!
