Yield Makes 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups light-brown sugar, firmly packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more if necessary
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 cup pecan halves, toasted and broken into large pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and 1 1/2 cups light-brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until fully combined. Add dry ingredients, and beat on low speed until combined.
  • Drop batter in rounded teaspoons onto ungreased baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake until firm and barely golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer cookies from pan to wire rack.
  • In a small saucepan, combine remaining 1 cup light-brown sugar and cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add confectioners' sugar, and whisk until smooth. (If frosting thickens, thin with cream.) Add pecan pieces. Place cookies on a cooling rack over a lined baking pan. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon praline mixture onto each cookie.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter for the best flavor and to prevent the frosting from becoming too salty.
  • Bring the butter and cream cheese to room temperature before beating them together. This will help them to cream together smoothly and create a light and fluffy frosting.
  • Start with a low speed when beating the butter and cream cheese together and gradually increase the speed as they begin to combine.
  • Add the sugar gradually, one cup at a time. This will help to prevent the frosting from becoming gritty.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little milk or cream. If it is too thin, add a little more confectioners' sugar.
  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or paste for a classic vanilla frosting. For other flavors, try almond extract, lemon zest, or orange zest.
  • Tint the frosting with food coloring to match your party or holiday theme.
  • Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
