BUTTER PECAN ROLL-UP COOKIES

Categories     Dessert

Time 22m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 beaten egg
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
6 tablespoons flour
1 cup finely ground pecans

Steps:

  • Cream softened butter and brown sugar together well.
  • Add next five ingredients and blend well.
  • Drop onto greased cookie sheet 2-3 inches apart.
  • (I recommend doing only six at a time even though it slows down the process.) Bake at 350F for 7 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool a few seconds.
  • With spatula remove one at a time, flip over then roll.
  • (It's handy to have a cup of cold water close by as these are still pretty hot. If you let them sit too long they will harden and you won't be able to roll them.).

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that they bake evenly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
