CHEWY PECAN COOKIES
Oatmeal cookies were always my son's favorite when he was small. I wanted to send him some recently, but I couldn't find the recipe. So, I got out the ingredients and made my own. My family thought they were the best I've ever made! The pecans add a real Southern touch. -Janice Jackson, Haleyville, Alabama

Steps:
- Grease a 9x13-inch pan with 2 teaspoons butter.
- Combine evaporated milk with sugar in a heavy, large stockpot and place over medium heat. Stir constantly and bring to a boil. Cook the syrup, stirring often, until a candy thermometer reads 235 degrees F (110 degrees C) or a small spoonful of syrup dropped into a glass of cold water forms a soft ball, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Stir pecans and butter into the syrup and continue to cook until solid crystals of candy begin to form on the side of the pot, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir vanilla and almond extracts into candy.
- Pour candy into prepared dish and let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

Tips:
- Choose the right ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will yield the best results. Use real butter and eggs, and make sure your pecans are fresh and not rancid.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and chewy.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes: This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help to create a chewy texture. Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
Chewy Pecan Drops are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
