Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi sweet)

Instruction

  • Pre heat oven to 350 and place rack in center of oven.
  • Beat butter and brown sugar until combined. Add cornstarch, flour, salt, vanilla and one cup chopped nuts. Mix just until combined.
  • Press mixture into a greased jelly roll pan or other large cookie sheet, the dough should measure about 12x14 in the pan. I used a small floured rolling pin to spread the dough evenly once it was patted out in the pan. Then I formed the edges of the dough with my hands.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, or just until edges are slightly golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and immediately place chocolate chips on top of shortbread. Let stand for a few minutes, and then spread chocolate until cookie layer is covered. Sprinkle immediately with nuts.
  • Let cool until chocolate is set and cookie is completely cooled.
  • Break or cut up and enjoy.
