Description

These pecan and maple shortbread cookies sure are quick and easy! You need just 4-ingredients, a blender and a cookie cutter.


Ingredients

  • 60g pecans
  • 90g unsalted butter, cubed
  • 125g wholemeal spelt flour
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat a fan forced oven to 180°C. In a food processor, blend pecans until they form a slightly textured meal.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until the dough comes together in a ball. Roll out the dough into 1/2cm thickness and pop in the freezer to harden for 20 minutes.
  3. Use a small cutter to cut out your cookies and place them on a lined tray. Depending on their size, bake for 10-20 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the tray before gobbling up.

Notes

  • Don't have pecans? Sub them for Almonds; they make a great cookie, too! Shortbread is often made with bleached flour and oodles of refined sugar. This version uses a wholemeal spelt, which is a lower-gluten grain and just as yummy!
