Brown Sugar-Pecan Shortbread Cookies image

Lovers of pecan sandies will adore these crisp, buttery treats that are a cinch to put together. The recipe is an adaptation of one developed by Dorie Greenspan for her book, "Baking: From My Home to Yours." Not fond of pecans? Try hazelnuts or almonds instead.

Provided by The New York Times

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time P2DT45m

Yield Makes 42 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of ground clove
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup finely ground pecans
Confectioners' sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Sift together the flour, cornstarch, salt and clove.
  • Using a mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Stop the mixer to scrape down the sides. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until incorporated. Add the pecans and mix just until combined.
  • Place the dough on a sheet of plastic wrap. Cover with another sheet of plastic and shape into a square. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll the dough between the plastic to 1/4-inch thick, and into a 9 1/2 x 11-inch rectangle. Refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours, or up to 2 days.
  • Position two oven racks so they divide the oven into thirds. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Discard the plastic sheets from the dough. Trim the edges to form a 9 x 10.5/2-inch rectangle, then cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch squares. Place the squares on the baking sheets, then, with a fork, pierce each cookie twice all the way through. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to bottom and front to back after 9 minutes. If desired, dust the cookies with confectioners' sugar while still hot. Transfer to a rack to cool.

Tips:

  • To achieve a perfectly moist and flavorful bread, ensure that the brown sugar is packed tightly into the measuring cup. This will help incorporate the right amount of sweetness and moisture into the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense bread. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the gluten in the flour.
  • Toast the pecans before adding them to the batter. Toasting enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the bread.
  • For a gooey and irresistible pecan topping, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and chopped pecans in a small bowl. Drizzle this mixture over the bread before baking.
  • Serve the bread warm for an extra special treat. It pairs wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or tea.

Conclusion:

With its irresistible aroma, delectable taste, and moist, tender texture, Brown Sugar Pecan Bread is a true delight for the senses. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting, this recipe is sure to impress with its simple ingredients and straightforward instructions.
