For an even richer flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping. Use high-quality butter for the best flavor and texture. Do not overbake the shortbread; it should be just lightly browned. For a festive touch, use a cookie cutter to create fun shapes instead of cutting into squares.

May 21, 2025My shortbread was a little dry. I think I overbaked it slightly. Will watch it more closely next time.
