Ingredients

Cookie

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
2 tablespoons light rum or milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons large grain sugar

Filling

1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons light rum**
1 to 2 tablespoons LAND O LAKES™ Half & Half

Directions

Combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar and pecan pieces in food processor bowl fitted with metal blade. Cover; process until pecans are very finely chopped (45 to 60 seconds). Combine sugar mixture, 1 cup butter, 2 tablespoons rum and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder and salt. Beat until well mixed.

Divide dough in half; shape each half on lightly floured surface into 10-inch long roll. Place onto waxed paper. Flatten sides to form triangle, using waxed paper to help shape triangle. Wrap each half in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm (2 hours).

Heat oven to 375°F. Cut each log into 1/4-inch slices with sharp, serrated knife. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle triangles with large grain sugar. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, combine all filling ingredients except half & half in small bowl. Beat at low speed, adding enough half & half for desired spreading consistency. For each sandwich cookie, spread 3/4 teaspoon filling on bottom of cookie. Top with second cookie, sugar-side up. Squeeze together gently.

*Substitute 1/4 teaspoon rum extract.

Recipe Tip

Large grain sugar adds a sweet sparkle to the tops of cookies. It is available in the baking section of large supermarkets or baking and cake decorating specialty stores.

Recipe Tip:
Use 2 rulers to shape triangle by pushing sides flat with rulers on opposite sides at the same time.

These are the most delightful cookies you could ever taste. I did not take the time to make triangles, just made them round. Taste the same. You will not be disappointed, they melt in your mouth.

Scandinavian-Inspired Shortbread

Shortbread is one of my favorite cookies. Crisp, light, buttery…just a few fresh ingredients perfectly combined in a classic treat. As a transplant to Minnesota, I’ve grown to appreciate the Scandinavian influences found in many local baked goods.
