How to Make Easy Double Dipped Chocolate And Nut Shortbread Logs

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Lightly grease two baking sheets.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 ½ cups powdered sugar for 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. (If using salted butter, omit the salt in step 4).
Add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt (if using unsalted butter). Mix until just combined.
Stir in 1 cup mini chocolate chips.
Roll about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough into 2-inch long logs (approximately ½ inch in diameter).
Place logs onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 ½ inches between each.
Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the logs are firm.
Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack.
In a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler, melt 2 cups mini chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons shortening (like Crisco) until smooth and melted.
Dip one end of each cooled shortbread log into the melted chocolate, then immediately into your prepared chopped nuts.
Hold the cookie in the middle, and repeat with the other end.
Place the dipped cookies onto wax paper to set.
