Ingredients

• 227 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 256 grams All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 200 grams Milk chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract and continue to beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing on low speed. The dough will be crumbly but should come together when pressed.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a rectangular block about 1.5 cm thick.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into finger-sized bars, approximately 2.5 cm wide and 7 cm long. Carefully place the bars onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove the tray and allow the bars to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

While the shortbread bars cool, melt the milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.

Step 10

Dip each cooled shortbread bar halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet to set.

Step 11

Once the chocolate has hardened, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
