Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Bake     Hanukkah

Yield 16-20 Wedges

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup tahini
Pinch salt
1-1/4 cups brown sugar
2 cups unbleached pastry flour
1/2 cup toasted pecans or walnuts, chopped or ground
A few pecan or walnut halves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. With a food processor or by hand, cream the butter with the tahini. Add the salt and brown sugar. Blend until smooth. Sprinkle in the flour, blending well. Mix in the chopped pecans or walnuts. The dough will be very stiff. Lightly butter two 7-inch pie plates or shallow baking pans. Press the dough to evenly cover the bottom and sides of the pie plates to a thickness of no more than 1/4 inch. Press a few whole nuts into the surface to decorate. Bake the shortbread for 15 minutes and then check it frequently, every couple of minutes, and remove it from the oven as soon as the edges are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake it. While it is still warm, cut each shortbread into 8 or 10 wedges in the pan; do not wait until it is cool or it will crumble.

I'm not a huge fan of halvah, but these cookies were still really good. The shortbread was perfectly buttery and flaky.

These cookies are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seed butter instead of tahini in the recipe. The cookies turned out great!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly.

I would have liked the cookies to be a little more crispy, but they were still very good.

I had some trouble finding halvah at my local grocery store, but I was able to find it online.

I loved the unique flavor of these cookies. The halvah added a subtle sweetness and nuttiness that really set them apart from other shortbread cookies I've tried.

This halvah shortbread was a delightful treat! The combination of nutty halvah and buttery shortbread was simply irresistible. The cookies were easy to make and turned out perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.
