These chocolate tile shortbread cookies are so classy! They look like a cool modern dessert that not many people have seen. The lemon shortbread paired with the white, dark, and milk chocolate is amazing. It has a slight tangy and fruity flavor, with the richness of the chocolate squares. This is an easy, but impressive dessert!

The trick to amazing shortbread cookies, is high quality vanilla bean paste. This truly brings the cookies to another level. Using vanilla extract, will turn out fine, but will not give you the rich vanilla flavor that you are looking for. You can find the vanilla bean paste here. YOU NEED THIS FOR ANY BAKING ENDEAVOUR. ITS AMAZING.

INGREDIENTS:

2 Sticks Butter
3/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 tsp Lemon Zest

Indent each square with your chocolate. Bake them for 10-12 minutes. Once they come out, immediately place you chocolates on them. The chocolate will soften, but once cooled completely they will become hard again.
