Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
  • 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 9 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate, divided

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Sift together flour and salt into a medium bowl. Beat butter with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add sugar gradually, beating between additions; continue to beat until mixture is very pale, about 2 minutes total. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture; beat until just combined.

After beating in the flour, beat in 4 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate (3/4 cup). Press dough evenly into a parchment-lined 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet; refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes. Cut dough in eighths lengthwise, then quarters crosswise, making 32 rectangles. Evenly pierce all over with a skewer.

Bake until shortbread is firm in center and golden brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer pan to a wire rack; immediately recut rectangles with a paring knife. Let shortbread cool completely in pan.

Melt 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate. Dip bars into chocolate, place on parchment-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes.

                I also forgot to pierce one batch and it seems to be fine.

                Fantastic recipe.  Used my mixer and it was easy.  Doubling the recipe works just fine.  I used salted butter and skipped the salt.  Also, I used Chipits mini chocolate chips instead of chopped chocolate.
                I find that 20 minutes of cooling in the fridge is too long.  Just 5 minutes seems to be fine.
                I also found that they were ready before the full 50 minutes of baking.

                Same problem. But even when removing early it was still to dry

                Just made these and mine were brown in 35 minutes so I took them out, hope they are done?  Good thing I checked on them before 50 minutes like the recipe says.  Don't know what went wrong.
