Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (29g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 sticks (230g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Add the vanilla and salt: On low speed, add the vanilla and salt and mix until combined.
  • Chill the dough: Refrigerate the cookie logs for 1 hour or until firm.
  • Preheat the oven and prepare the baking sheets: About ten minutes before the cookies finish chilling in the refrigerator, arrange two racks in the middle and bottom third of the oven and preheat it to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Bake the cookies: Bake for 10 minutes or until the cookies are set, rotating the pans between racks halfway through. The cookies will go from glossy and wet to dry and matte when baked properly. They will feel slightly soft out of the oven but should barely make an indent when gently tapped with your fingers. If they look shiny or feel too soft, continue baking them until firmed up, about 2 minutes.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED BROWN SUGAR SHORTBREAD



Chocolate-Dipped Brown Sugar Shortbread image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 30 to 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup milk chocolate morsels, such as Hershey's (6 ounces)
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup toasted pecans, minced and lightly salted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven.
  • Place the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on medium speed just until the butter and sugar are combined so you don't whip a lot of air into it. With the mixer on low, add the vanilla and scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and mix just until the dough comes together.
  • Scoop out 1-ounce pieces of dough (about a tablespoon), roll each one into a ball, then roll it into a 2 1/2-inch-long log. Place the logs 2 inches apart on two sheet pans lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until the cookies start to brown around the edges and spring back when lightly touched. Set aside to cool on the pans.
  • For the coating, place the chocolate and the butter in a heatproof bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir the mixture vigorously and continue to microwave in 30-second increments until the chocolate is just melted.
  • Drag half of the rounded top of each cookie through the chocolate and place it, chocolate side up, on a piece of parchment paper. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle on the pecans. Repeat with all the cookies. Set aside for at least 30 minutes for the chocolate to firm.

CHOCOLATE SHORTBREAD

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h

Yield about 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Sanding sugar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Make the cookies: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Beat the butter, egg yolk, vanilla, salt and cloves in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder until combined, then beat in the flour in two batches until combined.
  • Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and dust with flour. Gently knead until soft but not sticky. Reflour the surface, if necessary, and roll out the dough until slightly thicker than 1/4 inch. Cut out shapes using 3-inch cookie cutters. Gently gather and reroll the scraps. (If the dough is too soft to work with, refrigerate until firm.) Arrange the cutouts about 2 inches apart on 2 unlined baking sheets.
  • Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are firm, about 20 minutes. Let cool 3 minutes on the pans, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Make the icing: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk in a small bowl until smooth. Gradually stir in up to 1 more tablespoon milk until the icing is thick but pourable. Spoon the icing into a small resealable plastic bag and snip off a corner. Pipe the icing on the cookies, then sprinkle with sanding sugar. Let set, about 10 minutes.

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dark, unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 squares (2 ounces) unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans
4 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

  • Measure flour, cocoa, sugar and salt into the food processor or into the large bowl of electric mixer. Mix well. Cut the butter into thin slices and add to the flour mixture. Mix or process until mixture resembles moist sand. Add the chocolate and nuts and continue mixing until a dough forms. Shape dough into a smooth ball. Cut the dough into quarters. Shape each quarter into a smooth ball. Place dough ball onto the center of each circle drawn on the parchment paper. Flatten the round to within 1/2 inch of the inside edge of the round. With a fork, make impressions on the top of each round and use the fork to round off the edges. Sprinkle each round with 1 teaspoon sugar. With a straight knife, cut each round into eight wedges; leave wedges in place.
  • Bake for 1 hour or until the shortbread is a light golden color. With a straight-edged knife, cut the wedges apart while still warm.

SAVORY MIXED-NUT SHORTBREAD



Savory Mixed-Nut Shortbread image

Inspired by the cocktail nuts served at Union Square Cafe in New York City - butter-rich, toasty warm and fragrant with rosemary and cayenne - this no-mixer press-in cookie is a joy to make. You simply melt butter with rosemary and black pepper, stir that into dry ingredients, and then press the dough into a pan. Salted nuts and more fresh rosemary go on top before the whole thing is baked and broken into ragged pieces. Persnickety cookie, this is not. Enjoy on a cheese board, with cocktails or after dinner with tea and dark chocolate. Or pack these in a cellophane bag and tie it with a bow to share as a gift. (The cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.)

Time 45m

Yield One 9-by-13 pan (About 8 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup/227 grams salted butter
1 rosemary sprig, plus 2 tablespoons leaves
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups/300 grams all-purpose flour
2/3 cup/132 grams granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 1/2 cups/115 grams mixed, salted nuts (avoid peanuts if possible), lightly crushed with a heavy skillet or mallet

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, rosemary sprig and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook over medium, swirling occasionally, until the butter is just melted. (You can also do this in a bowl in the microwave, stirring between 30-second bursts). Set aside to cool slightly. (Take a whiff of the butter; it smells like rosemary!)
  • In an ungreased 9-by-13-by-2-inch pan, use a fork to stir together the flour, sugar and cayenne until combined. Remove and discard the rosemary sprig from the butter. Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork to combine, then use your hands to mix until no dry spots remain.
  • Press the dough evenly into the pan. Prick all over with a fork. Sprinkle the nuts and rosemary leaves on top, shake into a single layer, then press firmly into the dough until the nuts' sides are surrounded by dough. (This is important, otherwise the nuts won't adhere.) Sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Bake until golden brown (including in the center) and the edges start to pull away from the sides, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Let cool completely, then gently break up with your hands into jagged pieces. Nuts along the edge may fall out. (Those are yours to eat.) The shortbread will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
