Recipe Instructions:
-
Cream powdered sugar, butter, and extract till fluffed. In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the ingredients together until light and fluffy.
-
Mix in salt, flour, and pecans. Gradually add the salt, flour, and chopped pecans to the creamed mixture. Mix until well combined, forming a thick dough.
-
Shape dough into 1-inch balls and crescents. Take small portions of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Then, gently shape the balls into crescent shapes.
-
Place on a baking sheet. Arrange the shaped cookies on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
-
Bake at 325ยฐF for 15 to 20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 325ยฐF (160ยฐC). Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly browned.
-
Cool completely. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Prepare the chocolate dipping. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until the chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring occasionally.
-
Dip half of each cookie in the chocolate. Take each cooled cookie and dip half of it into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring an even coating.
-
Let the chocolate set. Place the dipped cookies on waxed paper to allow the chocolate to set completely.
-
Enjoy! Once the chocolate has set, your Dipped Toffee Nut Sand Tarts are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them as a delicious treat for yourself, your family, or your guests, and savor the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
