Easy but classy toaster oven chocolate shortbread cookies

Inspired by a couple of factors -- something to make via toaster oven [have you seen what gas and energy bills are gonna cost this winter???], John likes chocolate AND he also likes shortbread-- I took a recipe for chocolate shortbread and adapted it slightly ---- and it worked.

People, if you need to make a classy gift for someone, or need to contribute to a dessert buffet or afternoon tea, this will impress. The best part is: It's sooooooooooooo easy.

Recipe:
1/2 C. sugar
1 C. flour
1/4 C. cocoa powder
1/2 C. butter (1 stick)

mix dry ingredients together. Cut in butter and work with hands until mixture is crumbly, but holds a ball shape once formed.

pat into a shallow toaster oven pan (ungreased). score with a knife, into 16 pieces.Bake at 325 F for 20-25 minutes, until shortbread is firm.

Remove pan from oven, and cut shortbread along scored lines. Allow to cool for a little while, and remove pieces and cooll completely on cooling rack.

Store in airtight container.

Can't wait to share these w/ the fam over Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving y'all!!!
