Recipe Introduction


A very simple cooky. The brown sugar really stands out and I love the cracking effect given by rolling the uncooked dough balls in confectioner’s sugar. I just used vanilla, because that’s what I had, but I’d like to try it with butter-rum. I think that they need more pecans, because they just kind of disappear – also, don’t chop them too fine.


List of Ingredients




1 1/2 c. dark brown sugar
1/2 c. sweet butter, room temperature
2 t. vanilla, or a few drops of strong butterscotch or butter-rum flavor
2 large eggs
3/4 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
2 1/2 c. flour
1 c. (4 oz.) salted, toasted, chopped pecans (see below)
1/4 c. confectioner’s sugar, for coating


Recipe



In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and vanilla. Add the eggs, one at a time and beat well after each. Beat in the baking soda and salt and then stir in the flour and pecans until thoroughly mixed. Cover and refrigerate for an hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll one tablespoon portions of dough into balls and roll in the confectioner’s sugar. Place on baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 12 minutes, until spread and cracked. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes and then completely cool on racks.

Makes 4 dozen cookies.

PECANS:
Spread pecans on baking sheet and spray lightly with water. Salt. Bake at 300 degrees until golden and fragrant – 10 to 15 minutes.
