Salted chocolate shard shortbread
Bread
These are adapted from Alison Roman’s Instagram-viral Salted Butter Chocolate Chunk Shortbread from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dining-Cookable-Recipes-Alison-Roman/dp/045149699X/?tag=food52-20">Dining In</a>, nipped and tucked. I used unsalted butter instead of salted, because it’s what I always have around. I reduced the butter and sugar creaming time, to yield a more classic, crumbly shortbread texture. For the same reason, I swapped out some of the flour for cornstarch, and increased the bake time. And, most notably, I turned the chocolate chunks into chocolate shards by chopping them much more finely. This not only makes slicing the logs noticeably easier, but turns the shortbread delightfully marbly and streaky.
