I took these cookies to our Church social and they where a huge hit. I added a 1/4 Brown Surgar to the mix and left out the nuts on the dipping end.

Not impressed at all with the flavor of this cookie. I LOVE shortbread and have found that it is very difficult to find a good shortbread. This wasn't it. I will stick to my old recipe. This just didn't have a GOOD shortbread flavor.

These cookies are delicious! The walnut toppings are great, but if you are looking for something different, drizzle white chocolate over the semi-sweet for a very pretty treat. Rhonda, thanks for a great recipe!

This is one of the best cookies I have ever tried. It has become my favorite. I didn't change a thing except to dip them in milk chocolate instead of semi.

Great cookies! I made these twice this past week, and they are really quick and easy to prepare. The second time around, I did not dip them in chocolate, as I knew the people for whom I was preparing them would be overwhelmed by all the chocolate :-) and they still turned out deliciously. There is plenty of butter in the cookies; if you use a non-stick cookie sheet, you do NOT need to grease it. Thanks for the awesome recipe!

These are amazing! Melt in your mouth. The cookie itself was incredibly easy to make; dipping in the chocolate and nuts was a little messy, but well worth the work and cleanup. I brought 100 of these to work and they were gone in no time. Now one of my favorites.

Wonderful!! I love this recipe not only because it is good as is but you can vary the ingredents to get different tastes. I tried toffee bits in place of the chocolate chips yum yum! I think I must have made these way big though because I only got a little over 2 dozen from the amounts listed.

This is one of my favorite cookie recipes. Instead of dipping in the walnuts at the end, I drizzle white chocolate in streaks over the darker chocolate after it sets. The white chocolate can be colored for different holidays.

These were AMAZING! Instead of dipping just the end of the log in chocolate, I just poured the frosting all over them :) I brought these to a party and there wasn't one left at the end of the night! I will definately make these again.

These may be my favorite cookies of all time; not too sweet and seem to melt in your mouth. My variation: put in some almond extract in addition to vanilla and substituted the choco chips with ground almonds. After cooled, I then topped with dulce de leche or chocolate and dipped in finely ground fresh coconut and/or almonds. Exceptional base recipe with so many options. THANK YOU!!!

I just made these tonight and it's AMAZING!! my dad who usually won't eat any cookie had one and went back for seconds and thirds!! I didn't add any choc chips into the mixture. I had some plain, some drizzled with chocolate, some half-coated with chocolate and coated with almond flakes - the combination is gorgeous! I melted the choc chips on HIGH in the microwave and then coated the cookies - it worked well even without shortening. I had to watch the baking time - don't let the bottoms get too brown!!

Delicious! I substituted chopped macademia nuts for the chocolate chips and walnuts and used Ghirardelli milk chocolate baking chips for dipping.

Easy and delicious! My boyfriend LOVES these...even without the chocolate topping! The butter is the key. Don't skimp and use butter flavored shortening (learn from my mistake as I was short butter when making a double batch so I split it), as you don't get the same 'shortbread' richness. I also find that I had to double the ingredients to make a decent batch. I've tried a few other ingredients too. I've made it with crushed Macademia nuts instead of mini chocolate chips in the cookie, and also for the topping when using chips in the cookie. I've also used regular chips instead of mini and it works fine. Instead of dipping one end, I find it easier, and cleaner, to just dip the top of the cookie lenghtwise in the chocolate, and then dip it again in whatever topping. (Coconut works, and tastes great too!) That way, you get the chocolate and topping in every bite! That is, if you can manage to eat one of these in two bites! Have fun trying. I like this recipe because even if I don't have what the original recipe calls for, I always seem to have something in the cupboard that will work!

This recipe was great! Every time I make them I am asked for the recipe. I always have it printed up on recipe cards before I bring the cookies somewhere. I have tried a lot of shortbread recipes and this is the best so far, definatly a keeper! Thanks

These were tasty, but a bit dry. Also... I first tried making the dipping chocolate using butter for the "shortening" and it didn't turn out at all.... so shortening means shortening - when I used Crisco, they coated beautifully.
