For Christmas last year, a friend asked a group of us if we wanted to participate in a cookie exchange. An abundance of baked goods to share and consume? Of course I was in.
She asked each of us to bake a different type of cookie, which sent me down a rabbit hole trying to decide what to make. I associate shortbread with the holidays and prefer them over a sugar cookie, but wanted to add a little oomph to a plain shortbread.
The conclusion: a chocolate shortbread.
