Peppermint Mocha Shortbread

This is the Starbucks treat in a cookie. Yum.
Peppermint Mocha Shortbread
Mix:
1 cup of powdered sugar
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
Cut in:
1 stick of butter
Blend it all together well and press it into a greased 13x9 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about twenty minutes.
Meanwhile...
Melt and Mix:
1/2 package of chocolate chips
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
2 tsp instant espresso powder
Spread the chocolate mixture onto the shortbread after it's baked. Then top with about a 1/2 cup of smashed candy canes. Let cool and slice into pieces.

I made this recipe up for one of my Christmas Teas. I won't be having a big Christmas Tea this year, but these still must be made! :)
Warning: These should not be eaten in the evening--unless you need to stay up late sewing, or wrapping presents! That caffeine will get you!
