Description

These chocolate and nut shortbread are a real delight! I love to prepare them, especially during the holiday season. The combination of salted butter, chocolate and nuts is simply irresistible. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The dough is easy to work with, and the resting time in the fridge makes for firm and tasty biscuits. These shortbreads are perfect to accompany a coffee or tea, or simply for a small treat. A real treat for young and old!
