Whole Wheat Pecan Shortbread

These cookies have a nutty, flaky texture. Whole grains never tasted so good!

  • Yields: Makes 24 cookies
  • Preparation: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250mL) GAY LEA - Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup (75mL) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (500mL) flour, whole wheat
  • 1/2 cup (125mL) pecans, toasted and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate, melted (3 oz) (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
  2. Using an electronic mixer, beat butter with sugar until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, combine flour and pecans well. Using a wooden spoon, gradually add flour/pecan mixture to butter and blend until just combined.
  3. On a floured (using all-purpose flour) surface, roll dough to 1/4" (0.625 cm) thickness and use cookie cutters to cut out cookies. Bake for 15 minutes on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet until lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack.
  • If desired, decorate cookies by dipping or drizzling them with melted chocolate.
