Chocolate Shortbread Cookie Recipe

One thing I love about these Chocolate Shortbread cookies is there is only 5 ingredients. They are crazy easy to make and taste pretty darn good. Well if you ask John they are amazing but he may be a bit biased since I baked his favorite cookies this year.

• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 2/3 cup confectioners sugar

Directions

1. Cream butter until light and fluffy
2. Blend in remaining ingredients
3. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour
4. Cut out shapes or drop by the teaspoonful

White Chocolate Drizzle
