These look great, you know I just made some shortbread cookies, but I love the combo of toffee and pecans. I guess I need to fire up the oven again. Just made these today and they came out great! My husband loved them too. Definitely adding this recipe to my valentine cookie line up!

Prep Time: 35 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups (284g) all-purpose flour*
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, cold and diced into small cubes
- 2/3 cup (86g) powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup toffee bits
- 1/2 cup (60g) finely chopped pecans, plus more for garnish**
- 9 oz chopped good quality milk chocolate or dark chocolate , broken into pieces or chopped***
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl whisk together flour and salt, set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream together butter and powdered sugar, while stopping to scrape down bowl frequently, until mixture is smooth and creamy. Mix in vanilla extract then with mixer set on low speed slowly add in flour mixture and mix until nearly combined (it will be dry and crumbly at first but it will start to come together). Add in toffee bits and pecans and mix until combined (you may need to fold in those at the bottom of the bowl with a spatula). Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Shape each portion into an even 6 1/2-inch log (that is about 1 3/4-inches round) on a lightly floured surface compressing dough rather tightly together so there aren't holes in the center of the log and cookies hold together well when sliced. Wrap each portion in a separate sheet of plastic wrap. Chill dough 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees during last 15 minutes of chilling dough.
