These were delicious cookies from Bonjour Cuisine here. Their photo of the cookies look prettier than the ones in my photos and more delicate. It certainly didn't detract from the taste though. We enjoyed them and will be making them again.
Butter Pecan Cookies for Tea Time
Makes 12 cookies
Ingredients:
3/4 cup pecans
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
1/3 cup sugar (plus more for coating)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup all purpose flour
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
On a baking sheet, toast pecans about 6 minutes, or until fragrant. Let cool and finely chop.
With an electric mixer cream butter and 1/3 cup sugar until light, about 1 minute.
Beat in salt, vanilla and flour, scraping down sides of the bowl, just until dough comes together.
Fold in pecans.
Separate dough into 12 pieces. Lightly shape into balls with your hands.
Roll in sugar.
Place 3 inches apart on a baking sheet topped with parchment paper.
Gently flatten with the bottom of a glass (reshape sides if necessary).
Sprinkle with more sugar.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown, rotating the baking sheet about half way through.
Cool cookies on a wire rack.
It has been a while since we made cookies, and these turned out very nicely. We ended up with 8 instead of 12 as co-Chef wanted a larger cookie. We adjusted the cooking time and added a couple of minutes to the original time of 15 minutes.
Thanks for looking and enjoy your day.
YUM!!!!

DeleteThis let me back to my childhood I used to help mother when she was making cookies that look just like this and it was my job to take them off the pan and put them onto the wax paper after she took them out of the oven and I ate one and put one on the plate eight one and put one on the plate
ReplyDeleteLovely memories Sandra, sounds like a good system with the cookie counting :) Cookies weren't something we made with mother as kids, she did a lot of other baking though.
