Chocolate Shortbread

By: Sarah Bueckert

"THIS RECIPE has been in my files for a long time...probably from when I first learned to bake. Any chocolate lover will like these melt-in-your-mouth cookies. I make them year-round with variations. They're even richer with a thin coat of icing or as a sandwich cookie with frosting in the middle. -Sarah Bueckert, Austin, Manitoba"

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter. Add vanilla and mix well. Combine flour, sugar and cocoa; add to creamed mixture. Beat until dough holds together, about 3 minutes.

Cool for 5 minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
