I love this shortbread! It's a recipe that my mom has had for a long time. We make it a lot at Christmastime. These are made in the food processor.

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cups walnuts or 1 1/4 cups almonds
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 ounce semisweet chocolate
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt the 10 tablespoons of butter and set aside.
  • On a lightly greased baking sheet bake the nuts for 2-3 minutes. Shake and bake for 2-3 more minutes.
  • In the food processor grind the nuts until fine.
  • Add the flour and sugar and pulse a few times to mix. Add the 10 tablespoons of butter and pulse again.
  • Form the dough into two balls and press each of them into a buttered and floured 8 inch pie pan.
  • Cut each of the rounds of dough into 16 slices.
  • Bake on the middle oven rack for 20 - 25 minutes, or until pale golden. Let cool on a rack before cutting again and inverting onto a plate.
