Yield Makes 18 bars

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup salted and roasted mixed cocktail nuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Stir together butter and 1/3 cup sugar in a medium bowl with a wooden spoon until combined well. Stir in vanilla, then add flour and mix with your hands just until a dough forms.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly greased baking sheet and spread evenly with your fingers to form an 8-inch square. Sprinkle nuts evenly over dough, pressing down to help them adhere.
  • Sprinkle remaining tablespoon sugar over nuts and bake until shortbread is deep golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Cool on baking sheet on a rack, 10 minutes. Cut into 18 (roughly 3- by 1 1/2-inch) bars.

These shortbread cookies are amazing! They're so buttery and flavorful, and the mixed nuts add a great crunch. I'll definitely be making these again and again.

Great recipe! The cookies turned out perfectly. I used a mix of walnuts, pecans, and almonds, and they were delicious. Thanks for sharing!

These shortbread cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the mixed nuts were not evenly distributed. I would not recommend this recipe.

I was looking for a shortbread recipe that was a little different and this one fit the bill. The mixed nuts added a nice crunchy texture and the cookies were very flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again.
