These rich and buttery shortbread cookies are dipped in dark chocolate for the ultimate treat!
Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Bake cookies for 8-12 minutes, or until cookies appear golden brown at the edges. Baking time will vary and may take longer depending on the size of your cookies. Allow cookies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then gently transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Place half of the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, then place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted. Add remaining chocolate and remove bowl from heat. Stir occasionally until smooth and glossy. Dip ½ of each cookie in the chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt, if desired. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place cookies in the refrigerator for a few minutes until chocolate hardens.
