THIN CRUNCHY CHEWY PECAN COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl cream together the butter, sugar and egg until light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes, beat in the vanilla.
• Sift the flour onto the creamed mixture and combine either with the flat beaters until combined or with a spatula or wooden spoon. Gently stir in chopped pecans, mix until combined, do not over mix. Either leave the dough in the bowl or move to a clean bowl, cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour or even overnight. (cookie dough will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge).
• Pre-heat oven to 350F (180 C), line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• Remove the dough from the fridge and roll into 1 inch balls (mine weighed approximately 8 grams or .3 ounces each) place on the prepared cookie sheets, 2-3 inches apart, then with a flat bottomed glass, dipped in flour, flatten the dough balls until they are quite thin, a little thicker than pastry dough (see photos).
• Bake for approximately 12-14 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool on the pan for approximately 10 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!

PECAN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream together sugar and butter. Stir in 1 egg and add other ingredients. Drop from a teaspoon onto parchment-lined cookie sheets at least 3 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Cookies will spread, will be thin and subject to sticking. Remove carefully while still a little warm.

OATMEAL PECAN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F; lightly grease a baking sheet.
• If using old fashioned oats pulse them in a food processor a few times.
• Combine the oats, nuts, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and orange zest (if using) in a food processor, blender or a medium bowl (if using an immersion blender). Pulse until the nuts are finely chopped and evenly distributed. **You should end up with a fine meal. This is taking the place of flour**.
• Beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl until smooth.
• Add the egg, scraping the bowl and beating until smooth.
• Stir in the vinegar and vanilla, then the oat mixture.
• Drop the dough by 1/2 tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. (They don't spread much).
• Bake cookies for 10-14 minutes until the edges are barely browned.
• Remove them from the oven and let them cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
• Transfer to rack or paper bag to cool completely.
• **Mine turned out as small round puffy soft and slightly chewy cookies**.

LEMON COOKIES WITH GLAZE

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter together with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and beat in sour cream and lemon zest. Add flour mixture and mix until combined.
• Refrigerate dough until slightly firm, about 1 hour.
• Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
• Bake until just golden around the edges, about 15 minutes, switching and rotating sheets halfway through baking time (one sheet of cookies took about 12 minutes, the other sheet ended up taking 16 minutes). Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• While cookies cool, mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, milk, and lemon zest for glaze together and lightly drizzle cookies when they are almost completely cooled.

SALTED CARAMEL GLAZE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan. Add white and brown sugars and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Stir in cream and return to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for exactly 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in salt.
• Allow glaze to cool completely, 30 to 45 minutes. Place in the refrigerator to chill, 8 hours to overnight.

PECAN CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Stir in heavy whipping cream and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat to cool slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chopped pecans.
