Pecan Praline Cookies

Diana Rattray
These little cookies are packed with chopped pecans. Yummy buttery pecan cookes, made so simply with butter, brown sugar, and pecans, along with flour and vanilla.

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces butter
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups finely chopped pecans
  • sifted confectioners' sugar, optional

Preparation:

Cream butter and brown sugar; stir in vanilla. Gradually work in flour. Mixture will be crumbly. Add chopped pecans and work into dough. Pinch off dough and roll in hands to form balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place on greased baking sheets; bake pecan cookies at 325° for 15 to 20 minutes, until firm and browned on bottoms. If desired, roll pecan cookies in confectioners' sugar while still warm.
Makes about 4 dozen pecan praline cookies.

"I've been making these cookies for the holidays for 3 years now. They're a huge hit for the family and easy to make large batches. I have a very large extended family so these clear out quickly at the Thanksgiving dessert table! Definitely recommend these."
