Ginger-Lime Shortbread

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped
1 tablespoon grated lime peel
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

Preheat oven to 325F degrees. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add flour, ginger and lime peel. Mix well. Shape dough into ball and divide into four pieces.

On ungreased baking sheets, flatten each piece to 6-inch disk. Press edges to smooth. Bake for 15 to 25 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Cut each round into 8 wedges. Pierce surface with fork if desired. Cool completely on baking sheet for another 15 minutes.

In small microwavable bowl, cook chocolate uncovered on HIGH for 30 seconds. Stir and continue microwaving - stirring every 10 seconds until melted and stirred smooth. Place in small plastic food storage bag, then seal bag. Cut small corner off of bag then squeeze chocolate decoratively onto cooled cookies.
