Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies

1 lb. butter, softened
8 oz. sugar
4 c. flour

Cream butter and sugar together with hand mixer. Add half the flour and mix with wooden spoon. Add remaining flour and knead with hands. Roll out and cut cookies. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes. Melt dipping chocolate (or 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips plus 1 t. shortening) in saucepan over low heat. Dip each cookie halfway into chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on waxed paper. Sprinkle with candy or chopped nuts. Let stand until chocolate is set.
