    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: hondadriver_ab This is one of my favorites as a cookie exchange recipe. Altho' being shortbread, you have to be gentle when packing. It is a bit different than you see generally so makes a nice change.


    List of Ingredients




    2 cups unsalted butter, softened
    1 cup icing sugar
    2 1/2 cups flour
    1 cup cornstarch or rice flour
    pinch salt
    3/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
    1/2 cup butterscotch chips, chopped
    ½ cup Skor bits
    granulated sugar as needed

    Recipe



    In large bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Whisk flour, cornstarch and salt together, stir vigorously into butter mixture. Stir in pecans, chips and Skor bits. Roll by rounded teaspoons into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. With cookie press or bottom of a drinking glass dipped in sugar, press lightly to flatten to about 1/2 inch thickness.

    Bake in 300 degree oven about 35 minutes. Rotate pans halfway through. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes, Carefully transfer to racks to cool completely. Makes about 5 dozen, freezes well.
