BUTTER-PECAN PUDDING COOKIES
Not every new recipe turns out perfectly on the first try, but this one did. With crunchy bits of salty-sweet toffee and nuts in a moist, tender cookie base, they're about as irresistible as a cookie can get! And the secret, if you can even call it that, is simple enough: two cups of toasted pecans give this cookie the buttery richness it needs to live up to its name!

BUTTER PECAN ICEBOX COOKIES
My grandmother used to bake very similar cookies. As a little girl, I always loved their butterscotch flavor and was fascinated by the way Grandmother prepared these cookies (from logs that she took out of the icebox!). These are simple but delicious old-fashioned cookies. The dough logs can be stored in the freezer, then pulled out to defrost a day or two before baking time.-Lisa Varner, El Paso, Texas

SUGARED DANISH BUTTER COOKIES WITH PECAN HALVES
This recipe is for a very elegant and tender butter cookie that just melts in your mouth. Half of the dough yields a sugared butter cookie, while the other half is unsugared and topped with a pecan half. This recipe can be easily halved for a smaller yield, but believe me, the cookies disappear quickly. You won't regret making an entire batch because no one can stop eating them. The recipe looks more complicated than it really is. Just be sure not to slice the cookies too thickly.

Steps:
- Sift the flour and white sugar together in a mixing bowl, and stir in 1 egg and the vanilla extract until well combined. Using a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Divide the dough in half, and roll into two 11-inch-long logs. Wrap one of the logs in waxed paper and then plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Place 3 tablespoons of coarse sugar crystals on a flat plate. Brush the second log with beaten egg, and roll it in the sugar crystals, coating it thickly. Carefully wrap the sugared log in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. (See Cook's Note.)
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut the unsugared log of dough into round slices about 1/8-inch thick, and place the rounds onto the prepared baking sheets, about 1/2-inch apart. Top each round with a pecan half. Cut the sugared log of dough into 1/8-inch thick slices, and place them onto prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle each sugared cookie with more coarse sugar crystals, if desired.
- Place one baking sheet of cookies at a time into the preheated oven, and bake until the edges barely turn golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the cookies to wire racks to cool.

CREAM CHEESE BUTTER PECAN COOKIES
I combined a couple of recipes to come up with this cookie. I had made another version found online and they were delicious and tasted just like the ice cream, but they were a crumbly, shortbread texture and I wanted more of a soft cookie. This is what I got with this recipe!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream the brown sugar, butter, cream cheese, rum extract vanilla extract and egg yolk.
- Using a large spatula or spoon, Stir the pecan and toffee pieces into your mixture.
- Using your spoon or spatula, fold your flour and salt into the mixture, a little bit at a time. Thoroughly blend in each addition, before adding more.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour. (I let mine sit overnight).
- Preheat your oven (use convection bake if you have it) to 375 degrees F.
- Use light colored baking sheets and lightly grease them. Use a teaspoon to dig out your dough, using more if you like larger cookies, and roll into a ball. Slightly flatten each ball with your palms.
- Bake for 8 minutes, or until light golden brown. (The cookies will cook a bit more once they are out of the oven.).
- Let your cookies cool ON THE BAKING SHEET before moving them to your racks. My rule of thumb was when I could pick up the baking sheet and it may have been slightly warm, but I definitely didn't need to worry about oven mitts. This includes the bottom center of the sheet.
- Storage: To keep your cookies soft, place a piece of bread in the bottom of an airtight container and pile the cookies on top.
SALTY-SWEET BUTTER PECAN COOKIES
OMG delicious! Addictive! The salty-sweet with the pecans and butterscotch is just the best! Found it on the King Arthur Flour site. The recipe noted - "If you're making smaller (teaspoon cookie scoop-sized) cookies, increase the coating to 1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar mixed with 1 3/4 to 2 teaspoons salt." Nice tips at the site too (like chilling versus not chilling dough & more or less salt) - http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/salty-sweet-butter-pecan-cookies-recipe . Adding to my recipes so as to never ever lose this one! UPDATE - made these for Christmas platters - OMG, they are soo good -crunchy, sweet, salty & pecan toasty! We got 111 cookies from this batch having made them teaspoon-sized - perfect for Christmas platters. Will stick with the 1/2 teaspoon of butter-nut flavor we wimpily opted to use - it was perfect for our tastes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
- Place the pecans in a single layer in a pan, and toast till they've darkened a bit and smell toasty, about 8 to 9 minutes. Set them aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugars, butter, shortening, salt, espresso powder, baking soda, vanilla, flavor, and vinegar, beating until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in the egg, again beating till smooth. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a spatula to make sure everything is thoroughly combined.
- Mix in the flour, then the chips and toasted nuts.
- If you're going to refrigerate the dough, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for about 4 to 5 hours; or overnight. Cookie dough refrigerated for 3 1/2 to 4 hours will spread moderately; chilled overnight, it will spread much less.
- Mix the 1/3 cup sugar and salt for the coating, and put it in a bowl. To bake cookies immediately (without refrigeration), use a spoon (or a tablespoon cookie scoop) to scoop 1 1/2" balls of dough into the sugar/salt mixture, rolling to coat. Then transfer to the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2" between them on all sides; they'll spread quite a bit. Or use a teaspoon cookie scoop to scoop 1 1/4" balls of dough.
- Bake the cookies for 10 to 11 minutes - 11 minutes for smaller cookies, 12 for larger ones. Their edges will be chestnut brown and their tops a lighter golden brown. (For dough that's been refrigerated, add 30 seconds to 1 minute to those baking times.) Remove them from the oven, and cool on the pan till they've set enough to move without breaking. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Steps:
- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Toss pecans, maple syrup, and ½ tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Scrape onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and spread nuts into a single layer. Bake until pecans are slightly darkened and syrup is dark and bubbling, 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully toss pecans in hot syrup to coat again. Let cool on baking sheet until caramel hardens, about 30 minutes. Break up candied pecans into pieces; discard any burned bits.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Generously butter a 10" cast-iron or stainless-steel skillet; line bottom with a round of parchment paper and butter parchment. Pulse flour, brown sugar, half of candied pecans, and 1¼ tsp. salt in a food processor until nuts are finely chopped. Add egg, 1 Tbsp. vanilla, and remaining 10 Tbsp. butter and process until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer dough to a large bowl and knead a couple of times just to bring it together. Using damp hands, pat dough evenly into skillet, extending all the way to the sides of the pan. Bake cookie until edges are golden brown and center is slightly puffed, 30-35 minutes. Let cool in skillet 1 hour. Invert cookie onto a cutting board and cut into 16 wedges. Turn right side up and transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet.
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, remaining ¼ tsp. salt, and remaining 1 tsp. vanilla in a small wide bowl until smooth. The glaze should be the consistency of heavy cream; thin with more milk if needed. Transfer half of the glaze to another small wide bowl (you'll need to use 2 bowls as the glaze will start to collect crumbs and you'll want a fresh start).
- Working one at a time, lightly dip half of the wedges, top side down, into first bowl of glaze so that only the surface is covered and no glaze drips down the sides. Use a toothpick to pop any bubbles and smooth glaze; coating should be thin enough to see the cookie peeking through. Repeat with remaining wedges and second bowl of glaze.
- Top wedges with remaining candied pecans and let sit 10 minutes. Sprinkle with sanding sugar and glitter and let sit until glaze is set, about 1 hour.
- Do Ahead: Cookies can be baked 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
