Zubereitung von Nut Shortbread
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a shortbread mold with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually beat in 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup finely chopped nuts of your choice (pecans, almonds, hazelnuts, or unsalted cashews).
- Add the ground nuts to the butter mixture. Stir in 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup cornstarch until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth (about 30 seconds).
- Firmly press the dough into the prepared shortbread mold, ensuring it reaches the edges.
- Prick the surface of the dough all over with a fork.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are very lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let the shortbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, run a thin knife around the edges to loosen. Invert the pan onto a cutting board or wire rack to release the shortbread.
- If the shortbread is difficult to remove, gently tap the bottom of the pan.
- Once cooled, cut the shortbread into serving pieces. Wrap individual pieces in cellophane and tie with ribbon for gifting.
