SALTY-SWEET BUTTER PECAN COOKIES



Salty-Sweet Butter Pecan Cookies image

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.

Time 44m

Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/3 cups pecan halves
2/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon espresso powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon butterscotch extract (vanilla-butternut & butter-rum flavor fine too)
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour (King Arthur Unbleached)
1 1/3 cups butterscotch chips
1/3 cup granulated sugar, for topping
1 -1 1/4 teaspoon salt, for topping

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
2 1/2 cups packed dark-brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup butterscotch chips
2 cups toffee bits
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped toasted pecans
Maldon sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; do not overmix. Add butterscotch chips, toffee bits, and pecans; mix just to combine.
  • Using a 2-inch (2-ounce) ice-cream scoop, place scoops of dough on prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Pat tops of cookie domes flat and sprinkle with sea salt. Transfer baking sheets to oven and bake until golden but still soft in the center, about 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter: This will help the cookies spread evenly and prevent them from being too dense.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the cookies from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help prevent the cookies from becoming tough.
  • 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 the cookies bake evenly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch cookies are a delicious and classic treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture and sweet, buttery flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these butterscotch cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
