Brown Sugar-Pecan Shortbread Cookies image

Time P2DT45m

Yield Makes 42 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of ground clove
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup finely ground pecans
Confectioners' sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Sift together the flour, cornstarch, salt and clove.
  • Using a mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Stop the mixer to scrape down the sides. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until incorporated. Add the pecans and mix just until combined.
  • Place the dough on a sheet of plastic wrap. Cover with another sheet of plastic and shape into a square. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll the dough between the plastic to 1/4-inch thick, and into a 9 1/2 x 11-inch rectangle. Refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours, or up to 2 days.
  • Position two oven racks so they divide the oven into thirds. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Discard the plastic sheets from the dough. Trim the edges to form a 9 x 10.5/2-inch rectangle, then cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch squares. Place the squares on the baking sheets, then, with a fork, pierce each cookie twice all the way through. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to bottom and front to back after 9 minutes. If desired, dust the cookies with confectioners' sugar while still hot. Transfer to a rack to cool.

CHEESE PECAN COOKIES



Cheese Pecan Cookies image

Cheesy with Sweet and Savory at its best!! This has been my alltime favorite cookie and is always baked every Christmas. I received this recipe years ago from my mother-in-law. It is essential to use all ingredients to get the sweet and savory effect. The combination of the garlic powder, toasted pecan and the powdered sugar is awesome!! A one-half pecan piece on the top makes it pretty, but a one-fourth piece will do as well. It is best not to let these cookies get too brown. These cookies are great with coffee!! Approximate servings is shown. Chill time not included.

RYE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Rye Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Calling for rye flour instead of all-purpose, these chocolate chip cookies are not your ordinary batch. The rye flour lends a nutty complexity to balance the chocolate. And while any chocolate will work in this recipe, dark chocolate is a great match for the rye. A combination of light and dark brown sugar also adds richness and chew beneath the slightly crisp exterior.

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
