There is nothing quite like a good piece of shortbread and this recipe is outstanding. It will make your house smell good too. These are very easy to make.
Add 2 sticks of butter to your mixer bowl.
Add 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Beat this with the paddle attachment for 3 minutes. It will be light and fluffy.
Add 1 cup of finely ground pecans, 1 tsp. of salt and 1 tsp. vanilla. Beat for 3 more minutes. Beat in 2 1/2 cups flour.
Place it in an oblong pan and score.
Press a pecan half into each square. Bake at 300 degrees for about an hour until they look dry.

Pecans aren't especially common over here but I guess walnuts can be used as a substitute. Not the same taste but still tasty :-)
Have a great day!
