Recipe - Chocolate-Dipped Shortbread Cookies

1 cup Butter
One half cup Sugar
2 One half cup Flour
8 ounce Chocolate candy melts

I made these today and they are so good. I have the butter laid out to make
another batch after church tomorrow. it came from The Electric Kitchen;
Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In large bowl of mixer, cream butter and
sugar. Add flour and mix well. Spread into an ungreased 13x9 inch pan. With
a sharp knife, cut halfway through the dough into 2x1 1/2inch rectangles.

Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown While still hot, cut into
rectangles as marked. Cool. In a heatresistant bowl, microwave chocolate
on 30% power for 3 minutes Dip cookies halfway into chocolate, one at a
time, and tap gently to remove excess chocolate. Place on waxed paper.
Refrigerate until chocolate hardens. Makes 36 cookies

I used white candy melts and tinted it pink. They are so pretty and not
real sweet. Tomorrow I will use the chocolate melts. You can use almond
bark if you can't find the melts. I get them at stores where they sell
Wilton baking supplies.
