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.
