Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup butter, softened
½ cup confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon bourbon
¼ cup chopped pecans
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Grind the nuts with 1/2 cup flour in a food processor. Pulse on and off till the nuts are ground to a fine crumb. Add the rest of the flour and the cornstarch. Pulse to mix.
  • In a separate bowl, cream the butter or margarine. Mix in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and bourbon. Work in the flour mixture. Knead the dough until smooth.
  • Lightly spray your shortbread pan, or an 8 inch round pan, with a vegetable oil spray. Firmly press the dough into the pan, working from the center out. Poke the shortbread all over with a fork.
  • Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 35 minutes, or till lightly browned. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Loosen the edges with a knife, and flip the pan over onto a cutting board. Tap lightly to loosen from pan. Cut into serving pieces while still warm.

I'm not a big fan of bourbon, but I'm sure these cookies would be good even without it.

These cookies sound delicious, but they look a little too complicated for me. I think I'll try a different recipe.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

These cookies are amazing! The bourbon flavor is subtle but it really shines through. I love the texture of the shortbread, it's so crumbly and buttery.
