• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

Mix the softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl until everything is well mixed

Mix the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a different bowl

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a dough forms

For about 30 minutes, put the dough in the fridge while its wrapped in plastic wrap

Warm your oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet

To make a 1/4-inch-thick circle, roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface

Cut the dough into stick shapes with a sharp knife or a cookie cutter

Put the sticks on the baking sheet that has been prepared

Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden

Take the sticks out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet

Then, move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down

In a bowl that can go in the microwave, melt the semisweet chocolate chips for 20 seconds at a time, stirring after each time

Do this until the chocolate is smooth and melted

Dip one end of each shortbread stick that has been cooled into the melted chocolate

Let the extra chocolate drip off

Let the chocolate set on the sticks after theyve been dipped in it

Your chocolate shortbread sticks are ready to eat once the chocolate has set
