Chocolate Shortbread Cookie

          Hi, I know its been a really long time since my last post, but it has been a real hectic couple of months. I promise to be more regular going further.

          Today I am back with a sweet treat for everyone - Chocolate Shortbread cookies. These cookies are a classic Scottish dessert and get their name from the crumbly texture.

Ingredients:

• 2 cup All purpose flour (Maida)
• 3/4 cup softened Butter
• 1/2 cup packed Brown Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 cup melted Chocolate

Instructions:

• Mix the melted butter and sugar in a large bowl.
• Now add the Vanilla extract and beat at medium speed till it is creamy. If you don't have a beater, stir it thoroughly
• Now add the flour slowly and continue mixing it on a low speed
• Mix it till the mixture leaves the sides of the bowl and forms a smooth soft dough
• Now divide the mixture in 3 parts, and flatten each part a bit.
• Cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate it for couple of hours
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven at 375^o F.
• Now, roll out the dough a little more, and cut out the desired cookie shapes. I made the circles
• Arrange them on a cookie sheet and bake for 7-9 minutes or till they turn golden brown.
• Remove from oven, let it stand for 10 minutes.
• Dip the cookies in the melted chocolate and then cool on the wire racks.
• Once they are completely cooled, store them in an air-tight container. Enjoy!!
