Pecancookieswithcaramelglaze Recipes

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Grease a 13- by 9-inch metal baking pan, then line with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on both ends, and grease foil.
• Follow recipe for basic butter cookies to make dough (do not chill), then press dough evenly onto bottom of baking pan, using plastic wrap on top to prevent dough from sticking to your fingers, and chill until firm, about 20 minutes.
• While crust chills, put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
• Bake crust until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 20 minutes. (Leave oven on.)
• Make topping while crust cools:
• Cook sugar in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted to a deep golden caramel. Tilt pan and carefully pour in cream (caramel will harden and steam vigorously). Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in butter, vanilla, salt, and pecans.
• Immediately spread topping over cooled crust and bake until bubbling, about 20 minutes. Cool completely in pan on rack, about 2 hours.
• Run a heavy knife under hot water, then wipe dry and cut confection into 2-inch triangles, diamonds, or squares.

Steps:

• Combine flour, soda and salt, if using; set aside.
• Beat together butter and both sugars, until well blended.
• Mix in egg, half and half and vanilla.
• Blend in flour mixture until smooth.
• Stir in, by hand, Rolo candies, pecans and chocolate chips (if using).
• Wrap and chill dough, at least an hour before baking (not part of the original directions but I prefer to do this).
• Drop dough by tablespoon onto silpat or parchment lined baking sheets (necessary because of the caramel, trust me!).
• Bake at 350°F for 10-13 minutes until edges are golden brown and center is still slightly soft.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add the condensed milk and vanilla and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns to a light caramel color (240 degrees F on a candy thermometer), about 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and incorporate the pecans. Let cool for about 8 minutes. Roll into 2-ounce pieces and wrap with parchment paper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, corn syrup and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Toss together the flour and pecans and stir into the boiling mixture. Bring the mixture to a second boil before removing from heat. Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be at least 4 inches apart to allow for spreading.
• Bake for 5 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until evenly brown. If molding the cookies into shapes, allow to cool for a minute, until cool enough to handle, but still really hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream together sugar and butter. Stir in 1 egg and add other ingredients. Drop from a teaspoon onto parchment-lined cookie sheets at least 3 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Cookies will spread, will be thin and subject to sticking. Remove carefully while still a little warm.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1 cup white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, and baking soda; stir into the sugar mixture until well blended. Stir in 1/2 cup of the pecans. Cover, and refrigerate dough for 1 hour, or until firm.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a shallow bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup pecans and 1 tablespoon of sugar; set aside.
• Press 1 tablespoon of cookie dough around each chocolate coated caramel, forming a ball. Dip one side of each ball into the pecan mixture; and place pecan side up, 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake for 8 minutes in the preheated oven (the cookies will look soft). Cool on the pans for one minute before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• For crust:.
• Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan, then line with foil, leaving 2 inch overhang on both ends. Then grease foil.
• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in small bowl.
• Beat together butter and sugar in large bowl at medium to high speed with mixer until pale and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
• Beat in egg and vanilla.
• Reduce to low speed and add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
• Press dough evenly onto bottom of prepared baking pan, if necessary use plastic wrap on top of dough to prevent sticking to fingers.
• Chill until firm about 20 minutes.
• While crust chills, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Bake crust until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Cool on rack for about 20 minutes and prepare topping.
• For Topping:.
• Cook sugar in heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed until it begins to melt.
• Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with fork, until sugar is melted to deep golden caramel.
• Tilt pan and carefully pour in cream - caramel will harden and steam vigorously.
• Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved.
• Remove from heat and stir in butter, vanilla, salt, and pecans.
• Immediately spread topping over cooled crust and bake until bubbling, about 20 minutes.
• Cool completely about 2 hours or so.
