Chocolate shortbread w/drizzled chocolate


Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine and mix thoroughly:

1 cup softened butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups flour

Knead well and divide dough into 4 parts. Roll each into a cylinder, approx. 12" long. Place evenly apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Or to make it easier, line the sheet with parchment! Pat gently into a flattened rectangle, approx. 1/4" high by 1-1/2" wide by 12" long. There should be 2 strips per baking sheet.

Bake for 12-14 minutes, until done... it'll be a little soft, yet fully baked. Remove from oven. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then slice into strips (1/2" or so). Let cool completely and drizzle with melted white chocolate. Or use both (melted) white AND (melted) dark chocolate for more contrast.
