To all the Mothers with Love xx

Chocolate Dipped Tea-Bag Shortbread - is this not the most perfect recipe to share the week prior to Mothers Day. What Mother, Grandmother or other special person wouldn't love getting a bag of these little delights this coming Sunday?

Created with what can only be described as one of the easiest shortbread recipes around they were then dipped in either white, milk or dark chocolate and given that homelove touch with some cute bag tags.  


Beat 250grams of unsalted softened butter together with 1 cup of icing sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla essence until light and creamy. Add 2 and a 1/4 cups of plain flour and 1/2 cup of cornflour until the mixture comes together, knead until smooth and then wrap in baking paper and refrigerate for 25 minutes. Roll out between two sheets of baking paper to around 5mm thick and then cut into teabag shapes - the easiest way to make the hole at the top is with a straw. Place onto trays lined with baking paper and bake for 15 minutes in an oven pre-heated to 160˚C. Once cooled dip in melted chocolate and attach the tea bag string.
