Store-bought dulce de leche and pulverized pecans give this tender, buttery shortbread a nuttiness and depth of flavor you can’t quite put your finger on. We love the contrasting look of white nonpareil, but feel free to roll the dough in whatever sprinkles you please.
These understated little cookies are made with three kinds of sweeteners—natural cane sugar, flavorful maple syrup, and coarse, raw demerara sugar—a feat that gives them their subtly complex flavor and crunchy texture. Crisp and buttery, they make the perfect teatime snack or ice cream accompaniment.
Crumbly and melting, easy and irresistible, at the catering company, we keep the dough for this shortbread on hand in the freezer for in-house treats and for extra hors d'oeuvres or snacks for a party that balloons at the last minute.
I first tasted this shortbread when my friend Gail Monaghan passed it around in a silver basket before a dinner party at her house. I took one bite and said, "OK, where's the pen? Hand over the recipe (there was a "please" implied): this is amazing and I need to put this in my book." She very angelically wrote it out nicely, and here it is.
Tender, buttery, and pleasantly crumbly, these salty-sweet shortbread wedges studded with toasted pecans are a grownup version of the childhood favorite.
Essentially rows of buttery shortbread encased in a rich chocolate ganache, we suggest having a slice of this dessert by the fire with a strong cup of coffee.

Move over chocolate chip, there’s a new treat in town. This festive take on shortbread is not your average holiday cookie. It seamlessly straddles sweet and savory with its pistachio cookie base and 60% dark chocolate topping (with a sprinkling of crunchy nuts, of course). Let the dishes do the rest and serve them on Lenox Blue Bay pieces, an easy-to-mix-and-match collection with microwave-safe gold trim, for a fun, festive finish.
