Toffee Pecan Shortbread Cookies are a sweet and buttery treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its crunchy pecans, chewy toffee bits, and tender shortbread, these cookies are a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
Here’s a simple recipe for Toffee Pecan Shortbread Cookies:
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup toffee bits
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the chopped pecans and toffee bits.
Roll the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using a fork, press down lightly on each dough ball to flatten it slightly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy!
These cookies are best stored in an airtight container and will keep fresh for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the dough balls for up to 3 months, and then bake them as needed.
