Description
So easy to bake (no eggs involved) and delicious–I modified a basic shortbread recipe to jazz it up and it turned out a lot like a pecan sandie, but homemade.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups butter, softened
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup white sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ pound pecan halves
- ¼ cup powdered sugar, or as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Combine butter
- cream cheese
- and sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Add flour and mix until combined.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and set on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on bottom
- 10 to 13 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool
- 8 to 10 minutes more. Place one pecan half on top of each cookie and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
