Chocolate Praline Cookies
This praline cookie is wonderful with or without the chocolate. In fact i have made it many times, and while i was waiting for the cookies to cool...somehow a few cookies would vanish every time my boyfriend went through the kitchen.
Steps
Set oven to 375f.
Cream butter and brown sugar together with an electric hand mixer , or if you would rather do it by hand , a heavy spatula will work.
Add the baking powder and egg until the mixture looks smooth and creamy.
Beat in the vanilla extract.
Slowly beat the flour into the mixture , a quarter cup at a time until you use all the flour.
Add your pecans or walnuts.
If you think the dough is too warm you may want to put it in the freezer.
When i bake in the winter i often will put all my cookie doughs in the freezer for fifteen minutes before working with them.
If the dough is too warm , it will spread while baking and you will get pancakes rather then cookies :).
Take the dough from the freezer and drop it by the teaspoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet approx 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cookie looks golden , when you lift the cookies they should have an even color on the bottom.
Cool the cookies on a wire rack until they are cool to touch.
Whil.
