Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
- Cream together butter and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Mix in the flour, and then one cup of the chocolate chips. Shape dough into 2×1/2 inch logs. Place logs 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 10 to 13 minutes in preheated oven, or until firm. Let cookies cool completely before removing from pan (shortbread is brittle).
- Melt the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips and shortening over a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth. Dip one end of each cookie into the chocolate, then into the nuts. Place onto waxed paper until set.
