Why Organic
Why use organic ingredients in this recipe? You all know I’m a huge organic advocate, and I bet you may be thinking sometimes, Why would I even bother to use organic ingredients in something that is so sweet and indulgent? But, that is the exact reason why you should use organic ingredients! Sweet things need to have flavor in order to be good, otherwise they are just sweet and they don’t taste like much else. Organic ingredients are more pure than conventional ones, therefore they actually have more flavor than the non organic options. Say it with me, organic means more flavor! And not just more flavor but a more true and pure flavor. And organic ingredients are much healthier for you to eat in general as they do not contain GMOs or anything artificial. Plus, you are being environmentally friendly when you choose organic ingredients!
So, I highly recommend that you buy the best organic ingredients for this recipe! You can also shop my Amazon Storefront for all my favorite organic ingredients here. Tip – hover over each ingredient to see the name. And if you want to learn more about organic foods and the difference, read my post here on Food Labels and What They Mean.
Buttery and crisp shortbread cookies are filled with dried blueberries and half dipped in milk chocolate for the ultimate cookie.
Ingredients
- Dough
1 cup (226 grams) organic salted butter, softened
142 grams (1 cup) organic powdered sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon organic vanilla extract
383 grams (3 cups) organic all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon organic cinnamon
Heaping 3/4 cup (142 grams) organic dried blueberries
organic cane sugar for dusting
- Topping
7 ounces (198 grams) organic milk chocolate, finely chopped
Directions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix on low until all ingredients are combined and there's no butter chunks.
- Add the flour and cinnamon to mixing bowl and mix on low until all ingredients are combined, it will still look kinda chunky and that’s okay. Add the blueberries and mix to combine.
- On a large piece of plastic wrap, turn out dough and form into a log that is 13 x 2 x 2 inches and a square. You could also just roll it round too, the shape is completely up to you. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Trim off the edges and cut cookies into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place on prepared cookie sheets, spacing 1-inch apart.
- Bake for 13 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Sprinkle with cane sugar immediately after they come out of the oven. Let cool completely on the cookie sheets.
- Once the cookies have cooled, in a double boiler add about 80% of the milk chocolate. Melt until it reaches 115°F on a chocolate thermometer, then remove from heat and add in the remaining chocolate and stir to combine. Let chocolate reach 89°F. Dip half the cookies into the milk chocolate and place back on parchment paper.
- Allow to set and cool completely, you can stick in the fridge for about 1 hour.
- Store in a cool dry place or in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Notes
- High Altitude – Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
