These buttery pecan shortbread cookies are really amazing! I should have known they would be great because they are a Martha Stewart recipe. I was blown away by their simplicity and their flavor. They only contain 6 ingredients: butter, flour, vanilla, salt, sugar and roasted pecans.
I think the roasted pecans are what give these cookies a huge flavor boost.
When I was researching my cookie project and chose these to make, I was a little worried they would be like Pecan Sandies. Blech. These are definitely NOT like Pecan Sandies. Thank goodness. They are WAY better!
The original recipe says it makes 12 cookies. I was able to eke out about 16. I used a cookie scoop to scoop the dough. Then I rolled the dough into balls and dipped them into sugar.
I placed them on parchment lined baking sheets and flattened them with the bottom of the glass. I baked them for about 15 minutes. The result…
Yummy, not too sweet, cookies with a rich, roasted pecan flavor and crunch.
These Butter Pecan Shortbread Cookies will definitely stay in my arsenal of tried and true cookie recipes. You should give them a try!
