    • Irish Butter Shortbread Cookies Recipe

    What is shortbread?

    Shortbread is a very simply pastry that is usually made into a cookie, pie crust or tart shell. It is so simple it is just three ingredients: flour, sugar and butter. The "short" comes from its crumbly nature because it breaks into very small pieces. According to British Food History, this delicious treat originated in the UK around the 12th century.

    Why use Irish butter?

    Irish butter cookies are a delicious recipe that comes via my mother in law's friend,  Judy. So, why do you have to use Irish butter? Well, because otherwise the texture will not be the same.

    You see, Irish butter has a higher quality with less water and more fat content.  Irish butter like other European butter has 82% butterfat. American butter has 80% butterfat and this is huge difference when baking. I know people who tried to make this recipe with American butter and they end up running all over the cookie sheet and won't hold their shape.

    The higher fat content is a must. This not only means that the cookies hold their shape but will taste better and their texture will be creamier. Another reason why Irish butter tastes better?  Cows are only grass fed and not grain fed, as I witnessed on a recent trip to Ireland. It makes a huge difference in the flavor!

    Tips on Ingredients

    • Flour – All purpose flour works just great for these cookies.
    • Sugar – Granulated sugar is the correct one to use.
    • Butter – Use a good quality European type butter as it has a high fat content and makes a really great shortbread cookie. I like to use Kerry Gold Irish butter.
    • Pecans - I use pecan halves to drop onto each cookie. The pecan in the middle is just the perfect crunchy contrast to the creamy melt in your mouth texture of the cookie.
    • Vanilla - Make sure you use good vanilla when making these cookies. The cheap imitation flavor will not do.

    • Step 5: Slowly add the flour to the butter and sugar mixture.

    • Step 7: Turn out the dough, split into half to make two logs. These should be about 1.5 inches around and 7 inches long.
    • Step 8: Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. You can bake the next day of you like.

    • Step 9: After the dough is thoroughly chilled slice ⅜" circles, work fast so they stay chilled.
    • Step 10: Place a pecan on top of each cookie before they go into the oven.

    • Step 11: After they have baked for 5 minutes you need to press the pecan down gently into the cookie. I like to use a long chop stick or wooden spoon.
    • Step 12: Bake for 12 minutes or until they have a slight golden brown edge.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long can I freeze these Irish butter shortbread cookies?

    You can freeze them in an airtight container with freezer paper between layers of cookies. Be sure they are completely cooled before storing. They will store nicely for up to 6 months. This is a great cookie to make in advance for Christmas.

    Do I have to refrigerate the cookies?

    No, you do not. You can store these in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week.

    Can I store the cookie dough?

    Yes, wrap the dough tightly and you can store it in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. You can then remove the dough, slice then bake.

    I love to enjoy these cookies with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk. They often make their way into my lunch too. Now, how does that happen? Hmmm... I'm not sure.

        Laura, I use Kerrygold Irish butter in the gold package. I could not see if it was salted or unsalted. For some reason, the American butter will not work, due to a lower fat content. Hope this helps!

      My husband has been telling me for years how butter and cheese taste so different in Switzerland and how families would make their own and each families tasted different depending on what they fed their cows. Sometimes you just can't get the same flavor without seeking out the good quality brands.

        You are so right. Your husband is definitely right too. I know this old French lady who tells stories about going to the market with her mother as a child. Her favorite part was the butter stalls, because all the butters tasted a bit different. Yes, the butter will taste different depending on what the cows are fed.

        Hi Abby, Any European butter is different from American butter. The difference lies in the fat/water ratio. European butter is thus better for baking because it has a higher fat content. 🙂 I hope you get to try these Iris butter cookies. 🙂

        Hi Amanda! Yes, they are similar to pecan sandies. My husband's grandmother used to make them. You can get Irish butter at a well stocked grocery store. If you have a Wegman's near you, they carry it. Also, other European butters like President (French), or Puglia (Italian) will also work. I hope this is helpful. Good luck with the cookies.

      Is Canadian butter the same as American?? I haven't seen a European butter, if the crappy butter is used what happens??

        Hi Genan, There is a higher water content in standard off the shelf butter that is sold here in the USA. This will cause the cookies to spread out and not hold their shape. See if you can find the Kerry Gold butter. Good luck!

      Butter cookies are one of my primary weaknesses when the holidays roll around. I think I eat more butter cookies than any other holiday dessert, so I am all about this recipe. It really shines when you use great butter like Kerrygold.

      I just made these cookies and they are WONDERFUL! I have always struggled to find a good shortbread cookie to make. I think some of it was that I was using the wrong butter but this recipe is also fantastic. Simple but outstanding.
      I did make one tiny change. My husband doesn't like pecans. And I love a tiny bit of chocolate (not too much) so I baked them the 12 min and then, while still on the cookie sheet, I added a Goober. (Chocolate covered peanut) Then I transferred to the cooling rack.
      Thanks for a lovely recipe! I'll be sure to come back to your site again soon! : )

        Thank you so much Kathleen! I would have never guessed anyone would put a Goober candy on these cookies! That is great!

      Really excited about making these. Can I freeze after wrapping the logs in plastic wrap, before baking? I think one log would be enough for our family of 3 🙂

        Yes, you can freeze the dough but you need to take it out the day before and let it thaw in the refrigerator before baking.

      I definitely agree on the use of Irish butter. That’s all I buy. Would you please reply with the number of grams used for your 2 cups of flour? May I use whole wheat pastry flour or is all purpose best?
      Thanks

        Thanks for the question. I have a chart that shows that one cup of all purpose flour is 120 grams. So 240 for 2 cups and I only use all purpose flour for this recipe.
