Introduction
These cookies are big and even though I lightened them, they're not light by any stretch of the imagination. These cookies are big and even though I lightened them, they're not light by any stretch of the imagination.Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
-
1 stick butter
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 t. vanilla
1 egg
2 c. flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. cream of tartar
1/2 t. salt
1 c. pecans, chopped, plus 12 whole pecans
1 T. sugar.
Tips
When you're caramelizing your pecans, they're usually done when you see the first black spot.
Directions
Cream butter and both sugars in a large bowl. Add vanilla, then beat in the egg. Stir in the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Mix in the pecans.
Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 1 T. sugar over medium heat. Add the whole pecans and stir constantly until sugar turns to liquid. Turn the candied pecans onto tin foil to cool.
Lightly grease two cookie sheets. Divide the dough into 12 globs, 6 on each sheet. They don't form well, so use your clean hands to shape them. (They'll spread a bit during baking.)
Bake at 350 for 14 minutes or until you see the edges JUST start to brown. Remove from the oven and immediately press 1 candied pecan into the top of each. Remove the cookies to a cooling rack.
