The Luck of the Irish (Irish Cream Shortbread with Coffee Infused Chocolate)
When you bite into these cookies you will wish you were Irish! I promise you these shortbread biscuits taste like the dreamiest, creamiest Irish Coffee you have ever tasted. Make them I dare you! Then every day will be St. Patrick's Day!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Take the cookie dough out of the refrigerator and roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick and use a round cookie cutter and cut out shapes. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn light brown.
While the cookies are baking, place a small sauce pan on the stove filled 1/3 of the way with water. Pour the chocolate and vanilla into a heat proof bowl and place over the boiling water. Stir the chocolate constantly until it is heated through and melted and glossy. If the chocolate seizing, add a bit more liquid until you reach the desired texture.
Dip half of the cookie in chocolate. Let set and serve!
