Giant Toffee Pecan Cookies Recipes

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.

CHEWY TOFFEE PECAN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the work bowl of a food processor, add flour, pecans, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt: process until nuts are finely ground into flour.
• In a large bowl, beat butter, shortening, white and dark brown sugars at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Add molasses, eggs, and vanilla; beat on low speed just until blended.
• Gradually add flour mixture, beathing just until dough forms.
• Stir in chocolate morsels and toffee bits.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls; then roll balls in turbinado sugar. Do not flatten. NOTE: You may need more turbinado sugar - just use more if you need more. I ended up with probably closer to 2 cups.
• Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly flattened.
• Let cool on pans for 15 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
• NOTE: you may find it useful to rinse and dry hands every so often, as that helps the dough roll into a ball more easily.

CRUNCHY PECAN-TOFFEE COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; whisk until well combined.
• Place butter and brown sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg whites and vanilla extract, and beat for 1 more minute. Gradually add flour mixture to the bowl and mix until completely combined. Fold in pecans and toffee bits until all ingredients are well incorporated.
• Move the bowl to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Scoop dough into heaping tablespoon-sized balls with a spoon or cookie scoop. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet and flatten just slightly with the palm of your hand.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set and lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Gradually add granulated sugar and brown sugar, beating until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. On low speed, beat in flour mixture until blended. Stir in pecans and toffee candy.
• Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. Onto cookie sheets, drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls 2 to 3 inches apart.
• Bake 17 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
