This special ingredient brings a sweet, floral flavor and an incredible texture to the shortbread. I won&rsquo;t eat any other shortbread, because it tastes flat and one-note when compared to my version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My regular honey shortbread is made in a round cake pan, and then sliced like pie. Since it&rsquo;s <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/category\/christmas\/\">Christmas cookies<\/a><\/span> time, I choose to make these pecan shortbread in a square brownie pan. This way, it&rsquo;s easy to slice into sticks and dip in chocolate for cookie boxes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread-15.jpg\" alt=\"Pecan shortbread sticks dipped in chocolate and rolled in crushed pecans.\" class=\"wp-image-80662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread-15.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread-15-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread-15-550x825.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread-15-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread-15-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread-15-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread-15-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread.jpg\" alt=\"Bowl of flour, nuts, honey, and butter.\" class=\"wp-image-80656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pecan-Shortbread-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong>. One stick of butter that doesn&rsquo;t need to be softened! The butter cannot be frozen, however. Since we&rsquo;re using a food processor to make these pecan shortbread, cold butter straight from the fridge is fine here!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pecans<\/strong>. For the dough, we need 1\/3 cup of pecan halves. If you wish to dunk the cookies in chocolate and roll in more crushed pecans for decorating, you&rsquo;ll need an additional 1\/4 cup. I bought my pecans at Costco in the 2-pound bag, and I store them in the freezer to keep them super fresh.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Powdered Sugar<\/strong>. It&rsquo;s better to use powdered sugar than regular granulated sugar when it comes to shortbread. This keeps the texture of the shortbread super light and delicate. You need 1\/2 cup for this recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Honey<\/strong>. I promise that 2 tablespoons of honey makes all the difference in this shortbread recipe! It brings a slightly soft texture and an unmistakable floral flavor. Use your favorite honey; I just use the generic wildflower honey.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla<\/strong>. One teaspoon of vanilla extract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flour<\/strong>. One cup (125 grams) of all-purpose flour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>. Don&rsquo;t skip the 3\/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt&ndash;it brings out the nuttiness in the pecans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-pecan-shortbread\">How to Make Pecan Shortbread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, toast the pecans in a dry skillet until they smell toasted and are very fragrant, and then let them cool slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

Defrost it overnight in the fridge, and then press it into the pan to bake as usual. Do not bake this dough from frozen&ndash;it will burn on the edges before the center cooks. Make sure the dough is soft enough to spread into the pan nicely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How to store cookies<\/strong> &ndash; If you want to bake these cookie sticks ahead of time, lay them flat to freeze. Because they&rsquo;re so delicate, I recommend placing them in a container to freeze instead of a plastic bag. Defrost overnight in the fridge.
