Ingredients
Shortbread:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 bar (4 ounces) Ghirardelli 60 percent Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Bar, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Dipping:
  • 1 bag (11.5 ounces) Ghirardelli 60 percent Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
  1. Melt baking bar on double boiler and set aside. Mix flour and salt together and set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until smooth. Add melted chocolate and vanilla. Add flour mixture to chocolate mixture and mix just until blended. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour.
