Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Peppermint Triple Chocolate Shortbread

Chocolate, chocolate chip shortbread dipped into white chocolate and crushed peppermint candy cane!

There’s still plenty of time for some more holiday baking and you really can’t go wrong with buttery shortbread, especially not chocolate shortbread! Shortbread is supper easy to make, it’s pretty much just butter, powdered sugar and flour and from there you can add whatever you want and in this case it’s plenty of chocolate and crushed peppermint candy canes. From the basic shortbread recipe these cookies have cocoa powder to make the shortbread itself chocolaty and then there is chocolate chips and finally they are dipped into melted white chocolate! That’s three kinds of chocolate in one cookie! After the cookies are dipped into the white chocolate, while it’s still melted, you sprinkle on crushed peppermint candy cane to give it that festive holiday touch! These peppermint triple chocolate shortbread cookies are the perfect holiday cookies!
