It is a super simple shortbread recipe and then you dip half the cookie in melted chocolate. HEAVENLY. It's a good thing we gave them away because they were amazing (seriously, how could it not be with a POUND of butter?!?!)
Here's the recipe via Little Birdie Secrets:
4 cups flour
1 lb. butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. almond extract (optional, I left it out since I don't like almond flavoring)
1 bag Wilton Candy Melts or similar melting chocolate.
Cream the butter and sugar, then add flour and mix well. Roll out on a lightly floured surface and cut into desired shapes. Bake at 300 degrees for 25-30 minutes.(Start checking after about 20 minutes. You want them to be just barely browning around the edges.) Yields about 3 dozen cookies, depending on size of your cookie cutter.
{Funny story, I was reading the blog of a friend of a friend because of something my friend wanted me to see on it. Then I saw that she was posting MY recipes as her own. I know they were mine because some of them are family recipes and because she copied my explanations word for word. Come on. Give credit where it is due!!!}
