This is a yummy, no-fuss, no-fail shortbread recipe that I have been making for Christmas for many years now. You MUST use butter in this recipe. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1/3 cup icing sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans |
1/2 cup superfine sugar (approx. amount) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. With an electric mixer, cream butter in a large bowl. Beat in icing sugar & vanilla.
3. Add salt, then flour to creamed mixture. (Mixture will still be crumbly.).
4. With your hands or a wooden spoon, add the pecans until evenly distributed. (Mixture will now resemble cookie dough.).
5. Shape dough into the size of dates (make a ball between your hands & then slightly squish to give the oblong shape), dredge in superfine sugar & place on ungreased cookie sheets.
6. Bake 25 minutes until lightly browned.
