Rolled in coarse sugar, these sophisticated pecan shortbread cookies are long on buttery, nutty flavor.

Categories     Desserts

Time 35m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ cup chopped pecans
10 tablespoons (1¼ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Scant ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off with a knife, plus more for dusting
1 egg yolk, beaten
¼ cup demerara or turbinado sugar (Note: You'll use less than this, but you need extra to roll the dough in.)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
  • Place the pecans on a baking sheet and toast for around five minutes, until fragrant. Cool on the baking sheet. (The nuts can be toasted and stored at room temperature.)
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth and lightened a bit, two to three minutes. Scrape the bowl with a spatula. Add the flour and mix on low just until fully combined. Add the pecans and mix until evenly combined.
  • Turn the dough onto a clean countertop lightly dusted with flour. Dust the dough with a little flour. Shape and roll into a squared log between 1½ to 2 inches wide and 1½ to 2 inches high, dusting with more flour as necessary. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or parchment paper and chill for at least one hour or overnight, until the dough has gotten very firm.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set two oven racks in the centermost positions. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Lightly beat the egg yolk and ½ teaspoon of water in a small bowl and set aside. Pour the demerara sugar into a rimmed baking sheet or shallow casserole pan. Slice the chilled log in half to make it more manageable. Working with one log at a time, brush all sides of the log with the egg yolk mixture, then roll in the demerara sugar, pressing as necessary, until fully coated. If there are any areas of the log that are bare, sprinkle with the demerara sugar to cover.
  • Use a serrated knife to slice each log into about 12 individual cookies, each about ½-inch thick. Place the cookie slices onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each. Bake, rotating from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until lightly golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. The cookies will keep in a covered container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature. If you'd like to freeze the dough before baking, shape it into a squared log, then wrap it securely in plastic wrap and then a layer of foil; freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, remove the log from the freezer, thaw it until pliable, and then proceed with recipe.

PECAN SHORTBREAD



Pecan Shortbread image

This pecan shortbread - crumbly, salty and buttery, with a touch of cardamom - is delicate in flavor but sturdy enough in structure for a dessert on the go, ready for picnics or potlucks. Make this easy shortbread a day or two before you need it. After slicing, store the pieces in a tightly closed cookie tin. They're lovely alone, just out of the tin, but you can augment them with a bowl of cherries, nectarines and peaches, or ice cream, if you wish.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups/340 grams salted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
3/4 cup/160 grams granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
3 1/2 cups/448 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups/179 grams toasted, chopped pecans
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Put butter, sugar, vanilla and cardamom in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally.
  • Carefully add flour and pecans, and mix a few minutes more, at low speed at first, then medium, until dough comes together. Remove dough and knead for 1 minute. Press dough into a 9-inch square cake pan. (Alternatively, press into a 9-inch fluted French tart pan with a removable bottom.)
  • Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let cool and cut into squares, bars or wedges with a serrated knife while still slightly warm. Store in a tin until needed. To serve, arrange on a plate and dust with confectioners' sugar.
