Gigi's Pecan Cookies-this recipe is my friend Gigi's recipe. She gave me permission to share it with you on my blog. Now these, are my favorite cookies. I hope to be making a ton of these for an upcoming holiday bake sale! Here it is!
This recipe should make about 2.5 dozen cookies depending on the size of your dollop of dough. ;)
*Prior to preparation, see important safety information about baking below.
Ingredients:
-1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar (squish it down with a spoon to get the accurate amount)
-3/4 cup margarine or butter, softened (microwave 20-30 seconds to get it softened)
-1 teaspoon of vanilla
-2 eggs
-2 1/4 cups of flour
-1 1/3 cups of pecan chips (chopped pecans)
-1 teaspoon of baking soda
-1/2 teaspoon of salt
Directions:
-First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees
-Second, (not including the chopped pecans) mix all the dry ingredients separately from the wet ingredients and then slowly mix them all together. Mix in the pecans last.
-Then, grease a cookie sheet and drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 3 inches apart.
-Next, with correct protection insert the cookie sheet into the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. (I say more toward the brown side.)
-Lastly, with correct protection remove the cookie sheet from the oven, place the cookie sheet on a pot holder, let the cookies cool slightly and then move the cookies off the sheet with a spatula to a wire rack for further cooling.
And the best for last, enjoy with your favorite type of milk, hot cocoa or even ice cream! Even better, share them with a friend, co-worker, neighbor, bake sale, etc. Yummo! Blessings!
