Here's a recipe for Cinnamon Pecan Shortbread Cookies:
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
Additional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and ground cinnamon.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
5. Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Shape the dough into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
7. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
8. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once the cookies are cooled, dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch.
