Chocolate Covered Shortbread (Gluten Free, Vegan).
This buttery, delicate gluten free shortbread is dipped in rich chocolate. You'll love this simple, allergy friendly recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan buttery spread
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 2 cups gluten free flour blend
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Put the vegan buttery spread, vanilla extract, and confectioner's sugar in a large mixing bowl, and beat on medium speed until smooth.
- Stop the mixer, then add the gluten free flour and salt. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together.
- Place wax paper or parchment down, and dust with gluten free flour. Place the dough on top, and dust with more gluten free flour.
- Roll the dough out into a rectangular shape, using a well-floured rolling pin. The dough should be about ⅓ of an inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut out rectangles about 1 ½ inches wide by 2 inches long.
- Place the cookies on the cookie sheets with one inch between them. Pierce them lightly with a fork.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-17 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets before removing them.
- Melt the dairy free chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl or mug for 60 seconds, then stir. Heat in 10 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Dip the cooled cookies in the melted chocolate, and then set back on the parchment lined cookie sheets. Place the cookies in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes so the chocolate firms up.
