Salted Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies

Recipe for Salted Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies.

Buttery shortbread cookies dipped into semisweet chocolate then sprinkled with dessert salts. Salted Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies pair perfectly with wine, coffee, or a tall glass of milk.

In partnership with Uncommon Goods I have created this Dessert & Wine board for the perfect Mother’s Day gift. Wine & dessert is what moms really want anyway. Give her an excuse to go all out with this “&” maple and teak oil finished cheese board. Be sure to click over and see the delicious display of cheese and crackers UncommonGoods did with this board.

Unfamiliar with the awesome online retailer UncommonGoods?

UncommonGoods is a privately-owned retailer that endeavors to feature unique jewelry, designer décor, tabletop items and handcrafted gifts created in harmony with the environment without harm to animals or people.

There mission is to support and provide a platform for artists and designers; in fact, half of what we sell is made by hand. Most of the jewelry products, home décor and table top items we carry are created right here in the USA, and about one-third of our entire collection incorporates recycled and/or upcycled materials.

Dessert Board

For my dessert board I have:

• Brownies
• Madeleine cookies
• Tiramisu
• Salted Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies
• Fresh Berries

Dessert or cheese. Whichever one you pick you definitely need wine. If you are going to be sipping some wine you need to do it in style with Black Walnut Wooden Wine Glasses.

Chocolate dipped shortbread cookies are good but the gourmet dessert salts make them 10x better. The assortment of sweet sprinklings included in this little box of salts are:

Vanilla Lavender
Orange Ginger
Hibiscus
Rose Peppercorn
Espresso
Vanilla Cardamom

They all taste amazing with the chocolate-dipped shortbreads but, why stop there?! I am already thinking of flavored margaritas with these salts rimming the glasses. If there is one thing you need in your spice collection it is these salts. Order your tin of Gourmet Dessert Salts here. 

Now that your salts are on the way here is the recipe for the Salted Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies.
