HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SHORTBREAD
This recipe has been in my files for a long time...probably from when I first learned to bake. Any chocolate lover will like these melt-in-your-mouth cookies. I make them year-round with variations. They're even richer with a thin coat of icing or as a sandwich cookie with frosting in the middle. -Sarah Bueckert, Austin, Manitoba

- Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out dough to 1/4-inch-thick round and cut out cookies with 2-inch star-shaped cutter. Place on baking sheets, spacing 1/2 inch apart. If desired, reroll scraps and cut out more cookies.
- Bake cookies, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until slightly firm to touch, about 15 minutes. Cool on pans 2 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
- In medium bowl, mix together Mascarpone and confectioners' sugar until well blended.
- Turn 1 cookie upside-down and spread with 1 teaspoon filling. Top with a second cookie, right-side up. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.

COOKIES 'N CREAM SHORTBREAD STARS
There's nothing more patriotic than using America's favorite cookies for a Fourth of July treat. The chocolate sandwich cookies are repurposed into buttery star-shaped shortbread then glazed with white chocolate. The final touch: red, white, and blue sprinkles.

Steps:
- Line a 13-by-9-inch sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream at low speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla and mix until incorporated.
- Add the 2 1/4 cups flour. Mix at low speed just until it's incorporated. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the cookie pieces and mix at low until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Press the dough into the prepared 13-by-9-inch sheet pan. Get it as smooth as possible and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Line 2 half sheet pans (18-by-13-inch each) with parchment paper.
- Using a 3-inch star-shape cookie cutter, cut out stars from the chilled dough, dipping the cookie cutter in the 3 tablespoons flour in between cuts. Place the stars on each prepared half sheet pan then refrigerate.
- Meanwhile, position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
- Gently gather the dough scraps and press them back into the 13-by-9 inch sheet pan-however, only press into half of the pan. Then, refrigerate for 30 minutes or wrap with plastic and save for another time, for up to 5 days. Repeat the cutting with the cookie cutter and transfer the stars to the prepared sheet pans.
- Bake the cookies until they are lightly golden around the edges, rotating the sheet pans halfway through baking, 27 to 29 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the sheet pan.
- Combine the white chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 10 seconds at a time until the chips are melted, stirring after each interval. Transfer to a piping bag. Cut a small hole at the tip then pipe the white chocolate onto each cooled cookie.
- Before the white chocolate sets, decorate each cookie with the patriotic sprinkles. Allow the white chocolate to set completely before serving.
CHOCOLATE SHORTBREAD HEARTS
Fragile and supremely buttery, these cocoa-flavored shortbread cookies are dunked partway in melted chocolate and sprinkled with an optional topping of crushed freeze-dried raspberries. If you use them, the berries add verve both from their scarlet color and their bright acidity, which is nice against the richness of the chocolate. But other garnishes - flaky sea salt, chopped pistachios, crushed candy canes, toasted coconut - can be substituted. Be sure not to roll the dough thinner than 1/2 inch. Otherwise, the cookies are apt to break and crumble after baking. Their thickness helps keep them intact.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in yolk, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Mix in flour mixture until just combined. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
- Once chilled, remove plastic wrap and sandwich dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out into a 1/2-inch-thick slab. Leaving dough between the parchment, place it on a baking sheet or large plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours).
- Heat oven to 325 degrees, and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Pull dough from refrigerator, and remove parchment from dough. Using a 2-inch heart-shaped cutter, cut out as many hearts as possible. Transfer them to the prepared cookie sheets. Reroll the dough scraps and repeat.
- Bake cookies for 18 to 23 minutes, until puffed and set, rotating the cookie sheets halfway through. Transfer pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a heatproof measuring cup, melt chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between.
- Dip half of each cooled cookie in melted chocolate, letting the excess drip back into measuring cup. Place back on parchment-lined baking sheets, and sprinkle chocolate with crushed raspberries, if using. Let cool until chocolate is set, then store in an airtight container.
