Chocolate-Dipped Espresso Shortbread Cookies

From Fine Cooking Magazine

For simplicity, I usually don't temper the dipping chocolate. Instead, I melt the chocolate with shortening, which helps it set. With this method, the cookies may get spotty after a day or two. To avoid that, use tempered chocolate for dipping and omit the shortening, or else drizzle plain melted chocolate on the cookies instead of dipping them.

Chocolate Chip Shortbread

From Vegetarian Times

Rich, buttery shortbread is an ideal holiday cookie option because it keeps well and is sturdy enough to pack into gift baskets or send to faraway friends and family. For party preparation, either premeasure ingredients and combine on-site, or make the dough, press into the pan, and bake when you arrive.
