Chocolate-Dipped Shortbread Cookies 2011

Michelle likes fancy cookies.  These were so pretty! 

2 sticks unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt

Beat 2 sticks unsalted butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Whisk 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt then stir into the butter mixture. Press into a buttered 8-inch square pan. Slice into thin strips and then chill for 30 minutes. Bake for about 1 hour at 300 degrees. Cool. Melt semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate. Dip one end of each baked strip into the melted chocolate. Sprinkle with sugar or coarse sea salt.
