Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup pecan halves
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more
all-purpose flour , for preparation ( spooned and leveled)
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter , cut into pieces
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F Line an 8-in square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on all sides.
In a food processor, pulse pecans until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. In processor blend four, sugar, butter and salt until moist clumps form. Add reserved pecans; pulse 2 or 3 times, just to blend.
Press dough evenly into the bottom of prepared pan. If dough is sticky, dip fingers into flour. With a floured fork, prick dough every 1/2 inch. Bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
Cool 5 minutes in pan. Use foil overhang to lift shortbread from pan onto cutting board. With a serrated knife, carefully cut warm shortbread into 18 bars (6 rows by 3 rows). Remove from foil; cool bars completely on a rack before serving.
