I've only made these once, and already have requests for the recipe. They were melt in your mouth delicious! I didn't even roll them in sugar or dip them in chocolate. They are wonderul no matter how you fix them!

These cookies are EXCELLENT! I received tons of rave reviews and multiple requests for the recipe (or just a request for more cookies from my Dad!) when I took these to a meeting. The shortbread is flavorful with a delicate interior and crisp exterior. The chocolate compliments them well. I made 3 different shapes; rounds, crescents and fingers, and decorated the chocolate of each shape differently. The rounds I garnished with some drizzled white chocolate, the fingers I used colored sprinkles on and the crescents I accented with chopped pecans. They made an impressive & lovely cookie tray. A few tips on dipping them...I had to add about 1/2 Tbls. of shortening to my chocolate chips to get the consistency more "dip-able". After I dipped them I would run the bottom of the cookies over the lip of the cup as I removed them to help take care of any excess underneath. I then made the mistake of laying them back on the cookie sheet. Once they hardened I had to use a thin icing knife to get them off the cookie sheet without breaking them. Therefore, I would recommend putting them on waxed paper so they can be peeled off more easily once the chocolate has set. I will be making this 10-star recipe again!

Took these to a cookie exchange and they were a hit. I used Scharfen-Berger semi-sweet chocolate instead of chocolate chips. Shaped the cookies into little sort-of squares instead of pressing down with a fork, and so they were half dipped in chocolate. Also I dipped them in chopped pistachios after the chocolate so they looked great with the green nuts on the chocolate and tasted even better with a little saltiness from the nuts to go along with the chocolate. Loved them. Will make them again and again.
