Pecan Shortbread Cookies
















Another great recipe out of The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. This are truly like a homemade Pecan Sandy and not overly sweet.

Ingredients:


  • 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup grapeseed oil
  • 5 tablespoons agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, baking soda and pecans. 

In a glass measuring cup, whisk together oil, agave and vanilla. I use my Wonder Whisk! 

Roll the dough into a large log, 2 1/2 inches in diameter, then wrap in parchment paper. Place in freezer for 1 hour or until firm.

Remove log from freezer, unwrap, and cut with a wet knife into 1/8-inch slices.

Place 2-inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheets and bake at 350-degrees for 7-10 minutes until lightly golden. 

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 1 hour.
