Praline Cookies

Posted by Donna:

I wish I could take credit for these wonderful cookies, but I can't. This recipe was shared by a close friend of mine who just happens to be one of the best "bakers" around.

Praline Cookies

1 2/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. Baking powder
1/2 cup butter
1 egg

Cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs and vanilla. Mix in sifted dry ingredients. Drop by teaspoonfuls on baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 9 - 10 minutes. Sprinkle 1 cup broken pecans over cookies. Drizzle frosting over cookies.

Frosting:

Boil 1 cup brown sugar with 1/2 cup cream for 2 minutes. Beat in 2 cups powdered sugar. Thin with more cream if needed. Place the cookies on a cooling rack, put the rack back over the baking sheet or wax paper and pour the frosting over the cookies using a measuring cup. This makes cleanup much easier.

Enjoy!!
