3-1/2

1/2
cup cornstarch
1-1/2
cups chopped PLANTERS Pecans, toasted

Make It

HEAT oven to 350ºF.

BEAT butter and 1 cup sugar in large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Add flour and cornstarch; mix well. Stir in nuts.

ROLL dough into 1-inch balls; place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets. Flatten slightly with bottom of glass.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise
Enjoy your favorite foods on occasion but remember to keep tabs on portions.
Easy Cleanup
Line the baking sheets with parchment paper before use. The baked cookies will slide right off and you won't have to wash the pans in between uses.
Bittersweet Shortbread Cookies
Prepare as directed, reducing the nuts to 1 cup and adding 1 pkg. (6 squares) BAKER'S Bittersweet Chocolate, coarsely chopped, with the nuts.
