Description

Pecan Shortbread sticks dipped in chocolate for Christmas cookie tins.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick/ 113 grams) butter
  • 1/3 cup pecan halves (toasted in a dry skillet)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. First, preheat the oven to 350, and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Toast the pecans in a dry skillet until very fragrant but not burnt. The edges should just start to darken. Move them to a clean bowl to cool.
  3. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter, cooled pecans, powdered sugar, honey, vanilla, flour and salt.
  4. Pulse until a dough forms that sticks together into a ball.
  5. Press the dough into the prepared baking pan, and bake for 24-26 minutes, until the edges are brown.
  6. Let cool in the pan, then remove using the parchment paper to lift out. Slice into sticks or small triangles with a sharp knife.
