Nutty shortbread cookies
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The traditional shape for these cookies is a crescent. But if you don't feel like spending a lot of time, you can make it much simpler, as in this recipe. You can use not only pecans, but any nuts, even walnuts. These cookies can be stored for a long time, retaining their nutty flavor and delicate aroma. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
