Chocolate Peanut Shortbread Cookies
I set out to make crumbly, bittersweet, melt-in-your-mouth double chocolate shortbread cookies – my twist on a classic biscuit with origins in 12th century Scotland – but didn’t have white chocolate chunks or enough powdered sugar.

I developed the frosting on a whim, after realizing I didn’t have enough mascarpone for the original recipe, and the…
