Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Make Ahead
The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 2 months.
Notes
The difference between professional chocolate-dipped items and ones from home cooks are what the pros call "feet"—the excess chocolate on the bottom. To prevent chocolate feet from forming in Step 6, gently shake the extra chocolate off the shortbread after dipping it and then scrape the bottom of the cookie against the edge of the bowl to remove the last bit of excess.
