Chocolate-Covered Shortbread Sticks – Gluten-Free and Lactose-Free

The chocolate-covered shortbread sticks are tasty cookies made gluten-free and lactose-free. I made a shortbread with rice flour and vegetable oil, then formed them into sticks and baked them; once cooled, I covered them in chocolate. These shortbread sticks are crumbly and delightful, you can cover them with the chocolate you prefer and make the whole family happy!
