Chocolate
Shortbread Bars
Ingredients
1 cup semi-sweet
chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup (3 cubes)
butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose
flour
Directions
Preheat the oven
to 325 degrees
1. Melt the chips
in a bowl in the microwave, stirring twice as they melt. Set the melted
chocolate aside to cool.
2. Cream the butter, sugar, and salt together. Beat until very light
and fluffy. Add the melted chocolate and keep beating.
3. Measure the flour by spooning it into the measuring cup. (If you
scoop the flour from the bag, it will be packed and you will have too
much flour.) Add the flour to the creamed mixture, beating until combined.
4. Remove the dough from the bowl to an 8 1/2 by 13-inch baking pan
that has been lightly greased with shortening or butter. With the palm
of your hand, pat and press the dough to evenly distribute it. To get
an even finish, pat the top with a spatula. With the tines of a fork,
prick through the dough every 1/2-inch or so.
5. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top starts to look dry and puffy.
Remove the pan to cool on a wire rack. Let the cookies cool completely
before cutting. Use a ruler to measure the cuts uniformly and a sharp,
serrated knife to cut the cookies.
