Melt-in-your-mouth【Pecan Shortbread Cookies】
by MaomaoMom
Both my son and husband loved the Melt-in-the-mouth shortbread cookies. Today, I made these wonderful cookies with addition of pecans. Instead of using all-purpose flour, I accidentally used cake&pastry flour. Amazingly, these cookies turn out to be so crispy, truly melting in your mouth.
Prepare time: 30 minutes

3) 1 cup butter (240g) room temperature, 10 tbs icing sugar (80 g);
4) 1 tsp vanilla extract;
Topping:
4) 1/3 cup icing sugar (50g).
Directions:
1: Place all ingredients of Ingredient 1) in a bowl and mix well with a fork (Picture 1). Place pecans in a plastic bag, seal and crush with a rolling pin to fine pieces. Add to the flour mixture (Picture 2) and mix well.
2: Place all ingredients of Ingredient 3) in a bowl (Picture 3). Beat with an electric handheld mixer at high speed until light and fluffy (Picture 4). Add 1 tsp vanilla extract (Picture 5), beat at high speed for another 30 seconds. Add flour and pecan mixture (Picture 6) and beat until mixture resembles moist crumbs (Picture 7).
Preheat oven to 350F.
4: When dough is firm, divide into two equal portions. Roll each half on a floured surface into a 1.5-cm diameter log. Cut every 1.4 cm into 20 pieces (Picture 10). Roll inot balls with your palms and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet (Picture 11). Space them 1.5 cm apart.
6: Cool completely then sprinkle some icing sugar on top (Picture 12) before serving.
Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research on this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such excellent information being shared freely out there.
This really answered my downside, thank you!
Thanks for another informative site. Where else could I am getting that type of information written in such a perfect manner? I’ve a project that I am simply now working on, and I have been on the glance out for such info.
Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people think about worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
