White Chocolate Pecan Sheets Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda.
• In a large bowl, beat butter with both sugars on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in egg, then yolk, until thoroughly incorporated. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture, beating until just combined. Beat in white chocolate and pecans until just combined.
• Using a 4-ounce (2-inch) ice cream scoop, drop scoops of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced 3 inches apart (2 scoops per sheet). Gently press each to flatten.
• Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden but still soft in centers, about 14 minutes. Let cool slightly on sheets. Serve warm, or transfer to wire racks and let cool completely. (Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla.
• Whisk in the eggs one at a time until well combined.
• Using a large metal spoon, fold in the flour, salt, chocolate chips, and pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the middle is just set. Don't be tempted to bake them for longer than that, or you won't get gooey centers. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan.
• Turn the blondies out onto a cutting board and cut into 9 squares. Enjoy warm, or cover and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch pan.
• Mix 2 cups white sugar, flour, and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Combine water, vegetable shortening, margarine, and 3 tablespoons cocoa powder in a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Pour liquid into flour mixture and stir well. Return saucepan to stove and set it aside.
• Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk in a large liquid measuring cup and stir in eggs and vanilla extract. Pour egg mixture into cake batter and mix until fully combined. Transfer batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake the cake in preheated oven until cake springs back when touched lightly with a finger or a tester comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
• While cake is baking, prepare icing using reserved saucepan. Combine confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, butter, milk, vanilla, and pecans in saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Pour icing over hot cake immediately after it comes out of the oven. Allow cake to cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. In a double boiler melt the chocolate with the butter and oil over hot (not simmering) water, stirring constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
• Remove the top part of the double boiler and stir the nuts into the melted chocolate . Pour the chocolate mixture out onto the prepared cookie sheet. Spread randomly to the desired thickness. Refrigerate 20-30 minutes, or until set.
• Slide a metal spatula under the chocolate to loosen from the foil. Break into uneven pieces . Store in an airtight container or in the refrigerator. Prep time includes refrigeration time.

Steps:

• Pulse pecans, granulated sugar, and salt in a food processor until finely ground. Add 4 1/2 cups flour and pulse until combined. Add butter and pulse until pea-size pieces remain. With motor running, stream in 3/4 cup ice water; pulse until dough begins to form large clumps.
• Turn out dough onto a work surface. Knead briefly to combine, then pat into a flat rectangle. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill 1 hour.
• Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 long sides.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured, long piece of parchment (at least 20") and roll out to a larger rectangle. Top with another floured piece of parchment; roll to a 19x15" rectangle about 1/4" thick (if dough becomes too warm, chill 5 minutes). Remove top layer of parchment. Gently transfer parchment-lined dough to baking sheet so short sides of parchment hang over short sides of baking sheet. Press dough up sides of baking sheet until dough is just hanging over rim, then trim so edges are flush. Crimp with a fork, if desired, then prick bottom of dough with fork. Freeze dough 20 minutes.
• Bake crust until edges are lightly browned and beginning to set, 15-20 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack and let cool.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until solids begin to brown and butter smells nutty, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately stir in granulated sugar. Add corn syrup, molasses, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt and stir to combine. Add eggs and whisk until smooth.
• Pull out center rack of oven; place crust on rack. Pour filling into crust and carefully return rack to oven. Bake pie 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F and continue to bake until filling is set but wobbles slightly when baking sheet is tapped, 20-25 minutes more. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool.
• Increase oven temperature to 350°F. Whisk egg white in a large bowl until frothy. Add brown sugar and salt and whisk to combine. Add pecans and mix with a spoon until evenly coated.
• Spread pecan mixture on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing once halfway through, until toasted and crisp, about 8 minutes. Toss pecans, then transfer to a large bowl. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and toss to coat. Let cool, tossing occasionally to ensure pecans don't stick together, then coarsely chop.
• Place chocolate in a small bowl. Bring cream to a simmer in a small saucepan, then pour over chocolate. Tap bowl to submerge chocolate in cream; let stand 1 minute.
• Using a small whisk, stir chocolate mixture in the center until shiny and smooth. Pour ganache over pie and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Sprinkle candied pecans over pie while chocolate is warm. Let pie cool at room temperature at least 2 hours or chill 1 hour.
• Using parchment, transfer tart to a large cutting board or serving platter. Cut into squares to serve.
• Pie can be made 1 day ahead; loosely cover and chill.

Steps:

• 1. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. In a double boiler melt the chocolate with the butter and oil over hot (not simmering) water. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
• 2. Remove pan from double boiler and stir in the nuts to the melted chocolate. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet. Spread randomly to the desired thickness. Refrigerate 20-30 minutes, or until set.
• 3. Slide a metal spatula under the chcolate to loosen it from the foil. Break into uneven pieces. Store in an airtight container or in the refrigerator.
