Photo: Gooey Chocolate Pecan Shortbread Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 pounds butter, softened
- 6 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chopped pecans
- 2 bags chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 10 by 14 1/2-inch sheet pan (with sides) with parchment or waxed paper.
In a stand mixer, or using a hand-held mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the salt and gradually blend in the flour until it forms a dough. Press into a sheet pan, and bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, rotate the pan and knock it once against the oven rack, to ensure even cooking and a flat surface. Bake 10 to 15 minutes more, until very lightly browned. Immediately sprinkle the pecans and chocolate chips over the shortbread while it's warm. Let cool 10 minutes, then cut into desired size. Let cool completely in the pan, then store in an airtight container.

So I made this recipe and it was really good!!!!
Then.. I started breaking out in to hives for some reason and my ankles swelled up and I felt like throwing up. So I went to my doctor and he reminded me of my horrible butter allergy (I have memory problems and I told him that I had just eaten 4 POUNDS of it. Turns out I have 3 days to live. So thank you, shortbread, for making my last days so delicious.
If you have a butter allergy, eat this because even if you die it will be worth it!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried this recipe a while ago. I should have read all of these reviews first. I made it for a soup kitchen and was attempting to serve it to lots of hungry people. I cooked it about double the baking time and it never solidified. I kept pouring excess butter out, but I never could get this to turn out. Horrible mistake.

I cook for large groups of people so I thought this would be great. There must be some mistakes in the recipe. Should the 4 lbs. of butter be 4 cups? I put the whole mess in the trash. I did manage to catch the error in the pan size before putting in the to thin batter. It was a diaster.
