Butter Pecan Heaven

Hi!  I can't believe that Christmas is just a week away. How did that happen?  I also can't believe that 2018 is almost over.  2018 hasn't ended on a good note for me and as the saying goes when it rains it pours. This has been definitely true for our family. It seems our car can't stay out of the shop. Ouch!  It has hit our pocketbook big time. I have to say that for the most part 2018 has been a good year and I look forward to 2019. The other day I was scrolling through Facebook and a recipe popped up on my screen for Butter Pecan Cookies. The recipe comes from the recipe critic. I couldn't resist, so with a little help from friends, I made them the other day. Seriously, they are so good. If you love Butter Pecan, then these cookies are for you. I ended up taking them to a holiday party.  Everyone loved them!

Butter Pecan Cookies

1 cup of butter melted and slightly cooled

1 1/4 cups of brown sugar

1/2 cups of white sugar

1 large egg plus one egg yolk

1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla

3 cups of flour

1 teaspoon of cornstarch

3/4 teaspoon of baking soda

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

3/4 teaspoon of salt

1 1/2 cups of chopped pecans

1/2 cup of chopped toffee bits

In a bowl combine butter, sugar, and eggs until fluffy in a separate

 bowl combine all dry ingredients then add to wet ingredients.

Once all combined add pecans and toffee bits.  Place cookie balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in an oven at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. I like my cookies on the soft side so I usually lean toward the lesser of those two minutes.   

Enjoy!
