I can eat these tender shortbread cookies by the dozens. I’m not sure if it’s the light airy texture, the puff of powdered sugar or the combination of roasted pecans and butter that entice me into feeling helpless and out of control. Go ahead, indulge yourself and make a batch of these buttery shortbread treats. They are fabulous for holiday gift giving too!
