Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup peanut butter creamy
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 Tablespoon milk
- 1 package dark chocolate melting wafers 12 oz, Ghirardelli brand
- 1 Tablespoon sea salt for garnish, optional, coarse
Instructions
- Line a 15x10-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with powdered sugar and peanut butter until creamy. Add in flour, salt, and milk and beat until combined. Use heat from your hands to combine the crumbs of the dough.
- Drop dough into center of baking sheet, and using the heels of your hand, press dough into a large rectangle. You want the dough to be the same thickness throughout, so keep pressing until you have a rectangle about 12x10-inches and about 1/4-inch thick. Press any extra dough crumbs into the rectangle.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until edges begin to lightly brown. Remove from oven and immediately cut into strips using a pizza cutter. Cool completely.
- Melt dark chocolate melting wafers in a microwave safe bowl for one minute. Stir until smooth (you may need to heat an additional 30 seconds). Dunk bottom of each cookie into melted chocolate and place back onto parchment paper. Once all the bottoms have been dunked, drizzle remaining chocolate over the tops and immediately sprinkle with coarse sea salt, if desired.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days. ENJOY.

Notes
- Add hot water to a tall glass and let sit for a few minutes. Pour out water and put empty glass over a stick of butter. Allow it to soften for about 5 minutes. Works like a charm!
- I don’t recommend using margarine instead of butter. First, margarine can be a little more difficult to manage, a little stickier. Second, you can’t beat the taste of butter. When you only have a few ingredients, you want them to stand out! In a good way!
- In an airtight container at room temperature, you can keep shortbread cookies for about a week. If you choose to freeze your cookies, I usually say one month (although if I’m being honest I have totally kept frozen desserts much longer)!
