Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies & Russian Tea Cakes

                        

Hello,

another food post. I made cookies largely consisting of butter this time so slow down don't chow down (personal experience, and I only ate two. Still got sick). The first cookie I made were the Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies(the ones on the outside). Those were quite a challenge as I couldn't get the dough the right consistency and ended up squishing it together. It worked out thought because in the end I was able to make shapes out of it. I then melted dark chocolate and dipped the cookies in once they cooked down. They taste amazing ( I haven't tried them with the chocolate-only ate the failed cookie dough circles). The second cookies I made were the Russian Tea Cakes/Mexican Wedding Balls (the cookies on the inside of the plate). Those used up the rest of the butter. Used toasted almonds in the dough and sprinkled them with icing sugar once they cooled. I haven't tasted them yet but they smelled delicious. Have a good week.
