Cookies with Chocolate Drizzled Buttery Pecans and Caramel Recipe
Since most regions aren't cold enough for snow, I'll quit talking about it. But rain, especially the freezing cold rain in the midwest and east coast, begs for cookies. Without question. I heard Vermont got snow while San Diego, where we make barn doors, got rain for the first time in six months.
Ingredient
– 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted Butter– 1/4 cup sugar– 1/3 cup brown sugar– 1/2 teaspoon salt–3 teaspoons vanilla extract divided– 2 cups all-purpose flour– 1 teaspoon water– 3/4 cup raw pecans chopped– 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk– 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
1
In a large basin or stand mixer bowl, blend butter, brown sugar, sugar salt, and 2 tablespoons vanilla. Beat the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides, with a stand or hand mixer.
Instruction
2
Add flour and water and mix.
Mix in chopped pecans.
Put the dough on a big parchment or plastic wrap.
3
Shape it into a 10-inch-long, 2-inch-diameter log using your hands. Wrap the dough and freeze or refrigerate for 30 minutes or 2-3 hours.
4
While the dough chills, caramelise sweetened condensed milk. Pour sweetened condensed milk into a non-sick sauce pot. Stir constantly while simmering sweetened condensed milk over low heat for 20–30 minutes to avoid burning.
5
After the sauce gets a light caramel colour, add 1 teaspoon vanilla and remove from heat.
Pre-heat oven to 350. Parchment a baking sheet.
6
Place dough on a cutting board after unwrapping. Cut the log into 1/4-inch slices with a knife. Place slices 1 inch apart on baking sheet.
7
Golden brown edges will result by baking the cookies for 10-14 minutes. Let cookies cool before filling. Once cool, spread caramelised sweetened condensed milk on the bottom half of the cookies.
8
The thick sweetened condensed milk should be distributed gently on the cookies. Warm sweetened condensed milk on low until spreadable if needed.
9
Make a sandwich and set the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Stir the chocolate every 30 seconds in a double grill or full-power microwave until smooth.
10
Drizzle chocolate over cookies and add flaky sea salt if desired. Put the pan of cookies in the fridge for 5 minutes to set the chocolate. Cookies can be kept at room temperature for 4 days in an airtight container.
