OAT-AND-SPELT SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Whisk together spelt flour, oats, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar on high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat to combine. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture to combine. Gather dough in plastic wrap; form into a rectangular disk and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. On a floured surface, roll out dough to a scant 1/2-inch thickness; cut into 2-inch squares. Place 1 inch apart on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until firm to the touch and golden around edges, 24 to 26 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Melt chocolate. Dip each cookie diagonally in chocolate; sprinkle with flaky salt, if desired. Refrigerate on parchment-lined sheets until just set.
