Mini shortbread cookies coated with melted chocolate and tossed in powdered sugar make for a fun spin of a classic treat! So easy and absolutely irresistible!
Place flour, sugar and salt in a bowl of a food processor. Process for 5 seconds.
Add butter and shortening and process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and starts to come together.
Place mixture on a sheet of parchment paper. With your hands, bring the mixture together into a disk. Roll out into a 8" by 5" rectangle. Place parchment paper with dough and place in freezer for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
When ready, cut the shortbread in half and then each half into about ½" squares. Bake one half at a time. Place shortbread bites onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about ½ inch space between them. Bake for 18 minutes.
Cool completely.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and shortening until smooth.
