Time 1h30m

Yield About 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 cup (8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown-rice flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place pecans in heavy skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan to cool.
  • Cream butter and sugar by hand or in a mixer. Mix salt with rice flour and fold in by hand or on low speed. Fold in the all-purpose flour, pecans and vanilla.
  • Divide dough in half. Place each portion on large piece of plastic wrap.Fold long side of wrap over dough and gently roll back and forth to form a log about 12 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Repeat with second half. Wrap well in plastic and refrigerate until firm, 1 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Remove plastic wrap from dough. With sharp knife, cut dough logs in slices about 1/4 inch thick and place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until firm and just beginning to color, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on racks.

I'm not a fan of pecans, so I used walnuts instead. They turned out great!

I found the dough to be a bit too dry. I had to add some extra butter to get it to come together.

These cookies are the best! I've tried many different shortbread cookie recipes, but this one is by far my favorite. The toasted pecans add a wonderful flavor and texture.

I've made these cookies several times now and they are always a hit. They are the perfect balance of sweet and salty, and the pecans add a nice crunch. I also love that they are not too thick or thin.
