Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup tahini
- Pinch salt
- 1-1/4 cups brown sugar
- 2 cups unbleached pastry flour
- 1/2 cup toasted pecans or walnuts, ground or finely chopped
- A few pecan or walnut halves
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- With a food processor or by hand, cream the butter with the tahini.
- Add the salt and brown sugar.
- Blend until smooth.
- Sprinkle in the flour, blending well.
- Mix in the chopped pecans or walnuts.
- The dough will be very stiff.
- Lightly butter two 7-inch pie plates or shallow baking pans.
- Press the dough to evenly cover the bottom and sides of the pie plates to a thickness of no more than 1/4 inch.
- Press a few whole nuts into the surface to decorate.
- Bake the shortbread for 12 - 15 minutes and then check it frequently, every couple of minutes, and remove it from the oven as soon as the edges are golden brown.
- Be careful not to overbake it.
- While it is still warm, cut each shortbread into 8 or 10 wedges in the pan.
- Do not wait until it is cool or it will crumble.
- Makes: 16 to 20 wedges

I love Moosewoods books. I have one of their collections, I'm thinking it's called simple suppers. Great post.
