Melt-in-your-mouth【Pecan Shortbread Cookies】
by MaomaoMom

Both my son and husband loved the Melt-in-the-mouth shortbread cookies. Today, I made these wonderful cookies with addition of pecans. Instead of using all-purpose flour, I accidentally used cake&pastry flour. Amazingly, these cookies turn out to be so crispy, truly melting in your mouth.

    毛毛妈,谢谢你的菜谱。跟你学会了不少菜。
    但是今天这个桃酥全塌陷了。好像是牛油太多了。是一条还是一杯?我用了两条,毎条是半杯。谢谢指教!新年快乐!
