Praline cookies are light and buttery cookies made with pecans. They are easy to make with just a few ingredients and one bowl.
I found a recipe for pecan praline cookies on Cooking On the Side. I love pecans, and the image of these delicate little cookies decorated with pecans in the middle really caught my eye.
When I finally got a chance to make these cookies, I couldn’t believe how simple they were! And so few ingredients to assemble. Not even an egg is needed. The hardest part in making these cookies was having to let the dough set in the fridge.
The cookies are light, buttery, and the pecan half on top compliments the cookie perfectly. Tastes a bit like butter pecan ice cream.
Ingredients
- Softened butter
- Brown sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Flour
- Salt
- Pecan halves
Recipe Steps
Cream the butter, brown sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Stir in flour and salt. Mix well and chill the dough for 30 minutes.
Form dough into 1” balls and place them on a cookie sheet. Place a pecan half in the center of each ball and press down lightly. Bake the cookies at 350°F for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown.
