If you are looking for an easy, fast and delicious item to bake this holiday season, try making these amazing Toblerone shortbread! You will likely have all the ingredients in your pantry already. And if you don’t have Toblerone, you can always use a different type of chocolate – we can’t complain about chocolate, can we?
The secret to making these cookies irresistible is to chop up some of the Toblerone to be chunky and some to be fine. You want to be able to incorporate the fine pieces of chocolate into the batter so every bite has a little chocolatey goodness!

Are Shortbread Cookies Vegan?
In short, no. Even though shortbread cookies don’t have eggs, it does contain butter. If you have used a butter substitute successfully in baking before, I am sure you can substitute it but the recipe as is, is not vegan.
Can Shortbread Cookies Be Frozen?
Both the dough and cookies can be frozen. Which makes this recipe perfect for the busy holiday season. Make the dough ahead, form the dough into cookies and freeze them on a flat sheet pan. Once frozen, you can transfer them into a zip top bag. When the dough is frozen, you can keep it in the freezers for 3 or more months. When you are ready to bake, just take them out of the freezer and lay each cookie out on the baking sheet. Let it sit until the dough is at room temperature and bake like you normally would. You can also freeze the cookies if you have left over after you bake them. Again, keep them in a zip top bag and it can lasts months in the freezer.
