Receta Whole Wheat Pecan Shortbread Cookies
It’s time for holiday baking! And that means, well, it’s time for holiday dieting!
Really. The last 2 months of the year, well 3 months (if you throw in Halloween and October) are filled with indulgences and moments of weakness (just one more slice of pie…). Include these healthier shortbreads in your baking packages to ease the holiday blow of refined sugars, enriched flours, and corn syrups galore.

- 2.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour (no subs)
- 1 stick butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
