I really enjoyed these cookies! Excellent buttery flavor. Only critique is I got 22 cookies out of the dough with a 2 inch cutter, and I think some of my cookies were even thinner than 1/4 inch.

Hi Jane – Sorry you had trouble with this recipe. Do you use an oven thermometer? I’ve made these for years at 350F and haven’t had trouble with them over baking; is it possible your oven is running hot? As for the bittersweet chocolate, what brand and percentage of chocolate did you use? Most bittersweet chocolate isn’t overly bitter; I always find it compliments the shortbread nicely.

The Shortbread was a big disaster. I was lucky to get 20 cookies out of this recipe. I also reduced the cooking time to 13 minutes. My first batch over baked at 15 minutes. Then, using bittersweet chocolate for the drizzle was awful. Thank goodness I tasted it before putting it on the cookies. I changed it to semi-sweet chocolate. Very disappointing recipe. 🙁
