< Back Ganache Filled Shortbread Yield: 28 Cookies Prep Time: 15 Minutes Cook Time: 12 – 14 Minutes Category Desserts Calories: 74 Carbs: 7.4 Fat: 4.8 Fiber: 0.2 Protein: 0.9 WW Points: 3 ingredients ⅓ cup pecans, toasted and finely ground ⅓ cup walnuts, toasted and finely ground 1 stick + 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature 6 tablespoons brown sugar ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or paste 1 ¾ cup flour ¼ teaspoon kosher salt directions Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line two baking sheets with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Step 2: In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, (or in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment) mix together the softened butter, brown sugar and vanilla until combined. Don’t cream the butter – just stir it all together until you get a homogeneous mixture. Step 3: Sift together the flour, ground toasted pecans, walnuts, and salt, and add them to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well until the dough starts coming together, then knead it by hand until smooth. Step 4: Roll out the cookie dough between two sheets of parchment paper to a thickness of about ¼”. Rolling out the cookie dough between two sheets of parchment paper prevents it from cracking during rolling. It also eliminates the need for dusting your work surface with extra flour, as you don't want to incorporate more flour into the cookie dough. Step 5: Once you’ve rolled out the dough, cut out the cookies using a 2 inch round cookie cutter. Re-roll the scraps until you use up all the dough – you should get a total of 56-ish individual cookies (that will give 28 sandwich cookies). Step 6: Transfer the cookies onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them out slightly. Bake for 12-14 minutes until light golden brown. Step 7: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. for the filling: Step 1: Add about 1 - 2 teaspoons worth of ganache to half of the flat sides of the baked cookies. Step 2: Sandwich with the other cookies so the flat sides are facing each other. Enjoy! Jenn's Note: Inspired by this recipe here . Previous Next

In a large bowl, mix together eggs and applesauce. Step 2: Mix in the mix, all-purpose flour, and baking powder until combined. Add dough to fridge for about 10 minutes.

Dip the leveled off part of the cookie batter into the sprinkles, scoop onto your hand (sprinkles side should be touching your hand), then put onto baking sheet, sprinkles side up. The dough is pretty sticky so this turned out to be the easiest way to do it. Step 5: Put back in fridge for 30 minutes. Don't skip this! The cookies will fall flat. Step 6: Bake for eight minutes rotating once halfway. Step 7: Let cool five minutes and enjoy! Jenn's Notes: This has become one of my favorites.
