Since Pecan Shortbread Cookies do not contain chocolate they are a wonderful cookie for your little ones if you’re trying to keep them off caffeine. My children and their friends love eating this egg-free cookie dough raw whenever I make a batch. Here are more paleo cookie recipes for you.

This post is an oldie but goodie from the archives, I first published this recipe in 2007.

  1. I LOVE these cookies. I have made them several times. They truly taste like a buttery shortbread cookie. One of my all time favorites. I leave the log roll dough in the freezer for 2 hours. I like them on the thicker side.
