These chocolate shortbread cookies are rich and buttery with a distinctive crumbliness.
Whisk the flour, cocoa, and salt together.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until soft and smooth. Gradually add the sugar and deep beating, scraping the bowl as needed, until the mixture is creamy. Mix in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 additions, mixing just until the ingredients are incorporated-no more. Stir in the chopped chocolate.
Scrape the dough onto a cutting board and divide it in half. Roll each piece into a log that's about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and chill for at least 3 hours. (The dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or wrapped airtight and frozen for up to 2 months.
When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheets.
Beat the egg in a small bowl. Put some decorating sugar on a piece of wax paper. Brush the logs with the beaten egg and then roll them around in the sugar, pressing the sugar gently to get it to stick evenly.
Slice the logs into 1/2 inch thick cookies. Arrange the cookies on the baking sheets, leaving a generous inch of space between the rounds.
Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes or until the cookies are just firm to the touch. Transfer them to racks to cool to room temperature.
