Oh hello! I hope everyone is doing well and had the best holiday season! I've been getting back into the swing of things and enjoying that sweet Missouri life again. I'm looking forward to Valentine's Day next week, are you all? I know it's kind of a cheesy, commercialized holiday, but I've always enjoyed it. It's fun, and it's nice to be able to celebrate all of your loved ones.
You could give your loved one a box of chocolates, or you could give them a box of this buttery, delicious chocolate chunk shortbread. I know you've see this recipe a million times, it pretty much broke the internet; it's been featured on many Instagrams, blogs and food websites. It's Alison Roman's Salted Butter Chocolate Chunk Shortbread recipe.
While I disagree and don't think this should ever replace your traditional chocolate chip cookie, I do think it's extremely delicious and would absolutely make this recipe again. It was simple to make, too. You just whip up some salted butter, granulated sugar, a touch of brown sugar, vanilla, flour, and chopped dark chocolate. I took it a step further and used SALTED dark chocolate, oh yes I did. The dough is rolled into logs then rolled in coarse sugar. The cookie logs get chilled down, sliced, brushed with egg wash, then sprinkled with coarse sea salt. I didn't have any of that good flaky salt, so I sprinkled mine with ground sea salt. Still very good!
Here's the link to the recipe for you again.
Hope you had a great holiday too immersed up to your eyes in family and good times. ;-)
