TOFFEE PECANS

Steps:

• Line a cooking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the butter in a large pot over low heat until melted.
• Increase your heat to medium-low and add the sugars, salt, and vanilla.
• Stir briskly until the mixture thickens.
• Add the pecans and stir constantly so the nuts are coated evenly. Continue to stir until the sugar begins to caramelize and turns brown (approximately 5-7 minutes).
• Pour the pecan mixture onto the cookie sheet and separate the nuts with two forks.
• When the nuts have cooled completely, place them in an airtight container. They will stay good for 3-5 days.

TOFFEE PECAN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the butter in a small saute pan and place over medium heat. Completely melt the butter, then cook until the butter is brown and smells nutty, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool.
• Place the granulated sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Pour in the cooled butter and beat on low to medium speed until smooth and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and eggs and continue to beat on low until the mixture is combined.
• Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl and slowly incorporate into the batter a little at a time. Beat until smooth. Fold in the butterscotch chips and pecans.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Using a 1-ounce scoop or a tablespoon measure, portion out the cookie dough, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Sprinkle the cookies with salt and bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

BUTTER TOFFEE PECANS

Steps:

• In a medium sized heavy bottomed saucepan, combine butter, margarine, sugars and water. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until butter melts and mixture starts to simmer. Stop stirring. Add candy thermometer with bulb tip well into mixture but not touching bottom of pot. Continue cooking, without stirring, until candy thermometer reads 305 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from heat and quickly stir in baking soda, then nuts. Don't stir too long or toffee will turn cloudy and crumble when cool. Immediately transfer to large baking sheet that has been sprayed with vegetable oil cooking spay. Seperate nuts with two forks. At this point, some of the pecans may not have enough toffee covering them. After all nuts have been seperated, the toffee should be cool enough to handle but still warm enough to be pliable. Using your fingers and a fork, wrap extra toffee around any uncoated nuts. Can be stored in an airtight container when completely cool. These can be enjoyed as a snack or crushed and used as a topping for ice cream, bread pudding, cheesecake, pumpkin or sweet potato pie. Also great stirred into your favorite chocolate fudge recipe!
