I've been making chocolate shortbread for years, but just recently I came up with a better recipe than what I was using before. At least I think it is. It's a variation on my
mother's classic shortbread, which I'll reprint below:
Mom's Shortbread
1 lb butter
1 c sugar
1 t vanilla
Pinch of Salt
5 c flour
Cream butter and sugar together with electric beater until light and
fluffy. Add salt, vanilla and flour slowly. Bake in a 9" x
13" glass dish at 275 degrees for an hour. When you
remove from baking score in squares and sprinkle with sugar.
To make the
Chocolate Shortbread variety, make the following changes:
Add 1 c cocoa powder
Subtract 1/2 c flour
