Praline Cookies
Soft and chewy brown sugar cookies inspired by Southern pralines, topped with a rich caramel-style glaze and toasted pecans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 and 1/2 cups Brown Sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 and 1/2 cups Pecan Halves, toasted and chopped
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually stir in the flour and baking soda until a dough forms.
- Fold in 1 cup of the chopped toasted pecans.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- For the glaze: Melt a tablespoon of butter with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and a splash of milk in a small pan. Whisk in powdered sugar until smooth.
- Drizzle the warm glaze over the cooled cookies and top with the remaining pecans.
Notes
- Always toast the pecans first to bring out their full flavor.
- If the glaze sets too quickly in the pan, add a tiny drop of warm milk.
- Store in a single layer to keep the glaze looking perfect.
