Maple Pecan Shortbread Rounds - A Delicious Treat for Any Occasion
Looking for a sweet and buttery treat that's perfect for any occasion? Look no further than these Maple Pecan Shortbread Rounds! Made with a rich blend of butter, sugar, flour, and pecans, these cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and nutty flavors.

To make these delicious cookies, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1/4 tsp salt

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the maple syrup and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pecans, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Use a fork to gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Maple Pecan Shortbread Rounds are the perfect treat for any occasion, from holiday parties to afternoon tea. They have a rich, buttery flavor with a subtle hint of maple and a satisfying crunch from the chopped pecans. Serve them alongside a cup of tea or coffee for a delicious and indulgent treat.
