Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4 cup dark rum
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine the pecans and rum in a small bowl and let soak at least 30 minutes.

Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Put the remaining 1 cup confectioners¿ sugar in a medium bowl. Gently roll the cookies in the confectioners' sugar, returning to the racks as you go, then reroll the cookies to fully coat.

BUTTER PECAN MELTAWAYS



Butter Pecan Meltaways image

Lovely, buttery, tender shortbread cookies, with lots of toasted pecan pieces, all rolled in a powdered sugar coating.

Provided by Jennifer

Categories     Sanck

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup salted butter (at room temperature *see Note 1)
2 1/2 Tbsp granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup pecans (toasted, cooled and finely chopped)
1 cup confectioners'/icing sugar

Steps:

  • Toast the pecan (see Recipe Notes below for how to toast nuts), let cool completely, then finely chop. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes at medium speed. Add the water and vanilla and mix in. Add the flour all at once and mix on low speed until the mixture comes together as a moist dough. Stir in the (cooled) finely chopped nuts.
  • Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop a portion and dough and roll into about 1-inch balls. Continue shaping balls with the remain dough, placing onto a baking sheet. (*I like to roll all the dough and pack then onto a smaller baking sheet that will fit nicely into my fridge. When ready to bake, I transfer them to another baking sheet, spacing them apart and baking in a couple of batches).
  • Before refrigerating, you can flatten the balls slightly to make more of a "button-shaped" cookie or leave them as balls, if you prefer.
  • Place baking sheet into the fridge uncovered and chill 15-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325F.
  • Bake in preheated oven, with balls spaced about 2 inches part, for about 20 minutes. Bake in batches, if necessary, leaving remaining dough in the refrigerator while you bake the first batch.
  • Remove from oven and let stand about 1 minutes. Roll warm cookies in icing/confectioners' sugar while still very warm and place onto a wire rack to cool further. Once cooled to just slightly warm, roll again in powdered sugar to thoroughly coat.
  • Allow to cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
