PECAN PRALINE COOKIES:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
Pecan halves, for garnish
BROWN SUGAR FROSTING:
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup half & half
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar (plus a little more if needed)

Steps:

  • COOKIES: In a large mixing bowl, beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer. Gradually add sugars, mixing well. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, soda and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture, stirring after each addition. Stir in the chopped pecans. Chill dough for 30 minutes. When chilled, remove from the refrigerator. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place the balls of dough on un-greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350°F for 10 - 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks. When cool, spread Brown Sugar Frosting over the tops of the cookies. Top each with a pecan half before the icing sets. BROWN SUGAR FROSTING: Combine brown sugar and half & half in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in butter. Add 1½ cups powdered sugar. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add a little more powdered sugar, if needed, to achieve a desired spreading consistency.

Overall, I thought these cookies were pretty good. I would make them again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out evenly in the oven. They ended up being a little thick.
