How To Make coffee shortbread

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 300°. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugars, coffee granules, and salt until light and fluffy; gradually beat flour into creamed mixture.
  • Step 2
    On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with floured 2-in. cookie cutters. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Step 3
    Bake 20-22 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon shortening; stir until smooth. Repeat with baking chips and remaining shortening. Drizzle over cookies; refrigerate until set. Store between pieces of waxed paper in an airtight container.
