Brown Sugar-Pecan Shortbreads
Ingredients
-
2
cups unbleached all-purpose flour
-
1/4
cup packed light brown sugar
-
1
cup unsalted butter, chilled
-
1
cup chopped pecans
-
Powdered sugar (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly butter 24 mini muffin cups (1-3/4-inch); set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl stir together flour, sugar, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cut butter into 1-inch pieces; add to flour. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 5 to 7 minutes or until thoroughly blended, scraping sides of bowl occasionally (mixture will resemble fine crumbs and just begin to cling together). Add pecans. Press mixture together to form a dough.
3. Divide dough into 24 portions; press into muffin pans. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes in pans. Carefully turn out of pans. Cool completely on wire racks. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Makes 24 shortbreads.
