                Instantly a new favorite! Delicious!  I have already made these 3X--once for a large outdoor party, and everyone loved it.   I saw the other review about the cookies not lasting 3 weeks.  I would not know (mine were all eaten within 3 days).  They definitely last 3 days in an air-tight container.

                I love shortbread and love chocolate AND these were really easy to make and were really good.  However, shelf life did not live up to 3 weeks as mentioned in the recipe.  I would make these again if they were going to be enjoyed within that first 24 hours but they started to lose life by the second day.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • 1/2 cup cacao nibs

Directions

Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat butter with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add sugar, beating until mixture is very light, about 2 minutes. Stir vanilla and espresso powder together in a small bowl; add to butter mixture. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat until combined and smooth, about 1 minute.

Add flour mixture and beat on low speed until dough just comes together, about 1 minute. Beat in cacao nibs. Press dough evenly into a 9-by-13-inch baking pan lined with parchment. Cover with plastic wrap and smooth top with hands or the bottom of a dry measuring cup. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a paring knife to cut dough into 48 bars, 8 across short side and 6 down long side. Use a fork or skewer to poke holes in top of each bar.

Bake until set, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes, then recut bars. Let cool completely in pan before serving. Bars can be stored at room temperature up to 3 weeks.
