What a fantastic Praline cookie!! Be careful not to overbake these pecan-loaded treats; they are the best when nice and chewy. Begin to check for doneness after about 5 minutes. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 egg |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup toasted chopped pecans or 1 cup walnuts |
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate piece |
1 teaspoon shortening |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter or margarine with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar and baking powder; beat till combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Stir in the pecans or walnuts.
2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2-inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in a preheated 375F oven for 8-10 minutes, or till bottoms are golden brown. Remove cookies and cool on wire rack.
3. In a small, heavy-duty plastic bag, combine chocolate pieces and shortening . Close bag just above the chocolate, then set sealed bag in a bowl of warm water till melted. With scissors, snip off 1/8-inch of the corner of the bag. Gently squeeze the bag to pipe chocolate mixture over cookies. Or, melt chocolate and shortening in a saucepan over low heat. Let cool 5 minutes, then drizzle over cookies with a spoon. Let stand till chocolate is set.
