Hadn’t thought to add anything other than choc chips to shortbread. It’s shortbread season I reckon, so nice to have with a cup of tea in the evening. The addition of ginger and apricots sounds very yum indeed.

Was wondering about using chocolate instead of in the shortbread to coat bottom with it.
