Shortbread Cookies dipped in Chocolate





3 STICKS BUTTER AT ROOM TEMP
1 CUP SUGAR
1TESASPOON VANILLA
3 ½ CUPS FLOUR
¼ TSP KOSHER SALT

*OPTIONAL*
1/2 BAG SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS

(I MADE HALF OF THE BATCH WITH NO CHOCOLATE AND THEY WERE STILL A BIG HIT! CRUNCHY AND NOT TOO SWEET! )

MIX INGREDIENTS ON LOW UNTIL IT ALL COMES TOGETHER. TAKE IT OUT AND WORK THE DOUGH A MIN OR TWO ON A CUTTING BOARD AND THEN SHAPE INTO A LARGE FLAT DISK…WRAP IN PLASTIC WRAP AND CHILL FOR HALF HOUR. ROLL OUT TO HALF INCH THIHK, CUT OUT SHAPES OF YOUR CHOICE, SPRINKLE WITH A LITTLE SUGAR, THEN BAKE ON AN UNGREASED COOKIE SHEET AT 350 DEGREES FOR ABOUT 20 MINS. MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE CHIPS AT 30 SEC INTERVALS, STIRRING IN BETWEEN AND KEEP REPEATING UNTIL THE CHOCOLATE IS THIN ENOUGH TO SPREAD OR DIP THE COOKIE IN. DIP HALF A COOKIE IN THE CHOCOLATE OR SPREAD IT ON WITH THE BACK OF A SPOON, PUT BACK ONTO COOLED COOKIE SHEET TO DRY,
