Praline Butter Cookies

Sweet and nutty Praline Butter Cookies are a game-changer in the world of treats! With a delicate balance of crunchy pecans, gooey praline sauce, and rich butter, these chewy cookies will satisfy your sweet tooth and leave you craving more.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup praline sauce
• 1 large egg

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

Beat in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.

Gradually mix in the flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Stir in the chopped pecans.

In a small bowl, whisk together the praline sauce and egg until smooth.

Add this mixture to the butter mixture and mix until a dough forms. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. You should end up with 5 delicious Praline Butter Cookies, perfect for a sweet treat!

Notes

Make sure to use high-quality praline sauce for the best flavor. If using homemade praline sauce, make it ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld together.

Don’t overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies.

Stop mixing as soon as the ingredients come together in a ball. If you want a crisper cookie, bake for 14 minutes.

If you prefer a chewier cookie, bake for 12 minutes.

These cookies are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to make these cookies more festive, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
