Note: The recipe calls for 1 large egg but it seemed to me that our so called "large" egg was more medium sized so I used about a tablespoon of another slightly beaten egg.
Recipe and pecans came from Pale Pecan House, Seguin, TX.
Praline Pecan Cookies About 3 dozen small cookies
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
l large egg, beaten
1 cup finely chopped pecans
Pecan halves, if desired (I omitted these)
- Position rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 350°. Line cookie sheet with parchment and spray lightly with pan release.
- In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir well.
- In small saucepan, melt butter.
- Remove from heat and add brown sugar and vanilla. Stir well.
- Add beaten egg and stir until incorporated. (Add another tablespoon or so of beaten egg if mixture seems dry; mixture should be relatively stiff though.)
- Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients and stir in the chopped pecan.
- Place rounded teaspoon of dough about 2" apart on cookie sheet. Press a pecan half in center of each cookie, slightly flattening it. If not using a pecan half, slightly flatten with fingers of the bottom of a glass.
- Bake 12 minutes. Do not overtake as cookies set up as they cool and will harden if baked too long.
- Cool on a rack.
