FAQS
Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter for the cookies?
Yes, you can use salted butter, but it may alter the flavor slightly. If you do, consider reducing the amount of added salt in the recipe.
What type of chocolate chips work best for dipping?
Semi-sweet chocolate chips are commonly used for dipping, but you can also use milk chocolate or dark chocolate depending on your preference.
How can I store the chocolate dipped shortbread cookies?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to three months.
What can I do if my dough is too crumbly?
If your dough is too crumbly, try adding a tablespoon of cold water or milk to help bring it together. Be careful not to add too much, as it can affect the texture.
Can I add flavors or mix-ins to the shortbread dough?
Absolutely! You can add vanilla extract, almond extract, or even chocolate chunks to the dough for added flavor. Just be mindful of the overall balance of ingredients.
