Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup Butter

- 2 tbsp Milk
- 3 cups Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans
Praline
- 1 cup Sugar

Instructions
Cookie Dough
- Cream together Butter and Sugar. When light and smooth add Egg and Milk.
- Separately sift together Flour, Baking Powder and Salt. Add to wet ingredients. Blend Chopped Pecans into dough and let chill for 15-20 minutes until ready to scoop.
Praline
- Bring to a boil Sugar, Light Brown Sugar, Salt, Dark Corn Syrup, Butter and Evaporated Milk. Continue to cook until sugar reaches a soft ball stage (approx 235℉ on candy thermometer). To test place a drop of the hot sugar into a small glass of ice water. Sugar should float to top and flatten when squeezed between two fingers.
- Remove from heat and by hand fold in Pure Vanilla Extract and Pecan Halves.
Bake
- Place scoops of dough on parchment lined baking sheet pans, evenly spaced. Bake in 350℉ oven for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and top with 1 praline-coated pecan and gently push into cookie. Let cool completely before serving.
