Caramel Pecan Cookies Recipes

Active time: 1 hr Start to finish: 4 hr (includes cooling)

Ingredients:

• Ingredients for basic butter cookies
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into bits
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups pecans (1/2 lb), toasted , cooled, and coarsely chopped

Instructions:

1. Grease a 13- by 9-inch metal baking pan, then line with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on both ends, and grease foil.
2. Follow recipe for basic butter cookies to make dough (do not chill), then press dough evenly onto bottom of baking pan, using plastic wrap on top to prevent dough from sticking to your fingers, and chill until firm, about 20 minutes.
3. While crust chills, put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
4. Bake crust until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 20 minutes. (Leave oven on.)
5. Cook sugar in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted to a deep golden caramel. Tilt pan and carefully pour in cream (caramel will harden and steam vigorously). Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in butter, vanilla, salt, and pecans.
6. Immediately spread topping over cooled crust and bake until bubbling, about 20 minutes. Cool completely in pan on rack, about 2 hours.
7. Run a heavy knife under hot water, then wipe dry and cut confection into 2-inch triangles, diamonds, or squares.

Shortbread Cookies With Nutella, Bananas And Almonds Recipes

Ingredients:

• 24 x shortbread cookies – I used Walker
• 1/2 cup Nutella
• 2 x bananas, sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped almonds

Instructions:

1. With your non-dominant hand, hold up your first three fingers. Slightly cup your hand and gently grasp a shortbread cookie by its edge. Position your hand so that your thumb is closest to your body, let's call this 6-o'clock position.
2. Get a butter knife and with the non-serrated edge, scoop out exactly 1 teaspoon of Nutella. Position your knife at a 45-degree angle, serrated edge side down (using the serrated edge will give you ugly “teeth” marks on your cookie) above the cookie, pointing at the 12-o'clock position. Your cookie hand should still have your thumb positioned at 6-o'clock.
3. Take a few calming breaths to relax and center your chi.
4. Everything in this next step happens in one motion, so you might want to read this a couple of times over and practice the motions before proceeding. Lower your knife and in one flowing motion, rotate the knife counter-clockwise until you reach the 8-o'clock position. At the precise moment that the knife reaches this point, slowly rotate your cookie hand so that your thumb is now at the 9-o'clock position. When the Nutella swoop is complete, lift your knife from the cookie and follow through with a graceful wrist twirl.
5. Top with bananas and almonds.

Chocolate Sandwich Cookies Recipes

These otherwise simple cookies have a big “wow” factor. They’re addictive, but not in the same way as a certain famous chocolate sandwich cookie. Eating an entire sleeve of those cookies makes me feel vaguely ashamed. But baking and then eating a bunch of these, the homemade gluten-free version, makes me feel clever, ingenious even.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
• 1 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1-1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
• 1 recipe Chocolate Wafer Cookies

Instructions:

1. 1. In a large bowl, mix the butter, shortening, and vanilla until well blended. Add the first 1 cup of confectioner's sugar and stir until the sugar is incorporated completely into the butter mixture. The filling should be thick and stiff. Add more confectioner's sugar, one tablespoon at a time, to reach the desired consistency.
2. 2. Place one-half of the chocolate wafer cookies upside down on a level surface. Divide the filling among the cookies and flatten with wet hands or a spoon. Place the other half of the cookies right side up on top of the filling and press down gently to create sandwich cookies.

Ginger Molasses Spice Cookies Recipes

This is my sister’s recipe for her wedding favor. You can make them anytime, but they do make the house smell like fall and winter in a wonderful cozy way. She baked them in double batches (the recipe doubles up really easily) and then froze them for the big day. They are super easy to make, but just keep in mind to roll them in the size that she states. Any bigger and they become rather fragile and break. Otherwise the cookie and dough is super forgiving.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground cloves
• 12 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup white sugar plus more for rolling the cookies
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup molasses (not blackstrap)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat liners. In large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves). Stir vigorously with a whisk to blend together.
