BUTTER PECAN SHORTBREAD COOKIES



Butter Pecan Shortbread Cookies image

Shortbread cookies are a must to make for the holidays, and these pecan-filled, buttery biscuits are simply irresistible. Be sure to use real butter, not margarine, for best flavor. PLEASE, watch them as they bake. Reviewers are reporting baking times from 12 to 20 mins and I have changed the baking time from the original 30 mins to 15 mins.

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 2 1/2 dozen, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 cups flour
1 cup ground pecans
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicon mat.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer or a food processor, beat together butter and brown sugar until creamy.
  • Add flour, ground pecans, vanilla and salt and beat just until it forms a smooth dough.
  • Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow it to firm up just enough to shape.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
  • By hand, roll dough into 1-inch balls.
  • Place them on the prepared cookie sheet and flatten very slightly (to about 1/2-inch thickness) with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in flour to prevent the dough from sticking to the glass (If you have a cookie stamp, you can use it to flatten the cookies instead of the glass).
  • Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes or until set and very lightly browned on the bottom.
  • Remove from pan and let cool on a rack.

Provided by HANNER

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Cut-Out Cookie Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups cold butter
½ teaspoon rum extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons cold water
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons milk
1 drop food coloring, or to desired shade
1 tablespoon colored edible glitter, or as desired

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl; with a pastry cutter, chop in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir the rum extract and almond extract into the water in a small bowl. Mix into the dry ingredients, a little bit at a time, until the mixture holds together in a ball when you squeeze it.
  • Place the dough onto a floured work surface, and sprinkle with flour; roll out into a sheet 1/4 inch thick. Cut into shapes with floured cookie cutters, and place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Cover with a layer of plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  • Bake the cookies just until the edges are lightly browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool on sheets for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to finish cooling. Cool completely before decorating.
  • For frosting, whisk the confectioners' sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth. If desired, divide frosting into small bowls, and tint each bowl a desired shade with food coloring. Frost fully cooled cookies, and sprinkle with edible glitter before the frosting sets.
