Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
  • Additional powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  2. Toast the Pecans:
    • Spread the chopped pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet.
    • Toast the pecans in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Once toasted, remove from the oven and let them cool.
  3. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add the Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
    • Fold in the toasted chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Shape the Cookies:
    • Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each portion into a ball or log, depending on your preference for cookie shape.
    • If shaping into logs, gently press down on the tops to flatten slightly.
  6. Chill the Dough:
    • Place the shaped cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
    • Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  7. Bake the Cookies:
    • Once chilled, remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator.
    • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
    • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Dust with Powdered Sugar (Optional):
    • Once the cookies are completely cooled, dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness, if desired.
  9. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Serve these delicious Pecan Shortbread Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, or package them up to give as homemade gifts during the holiday season.
  10. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
