Crispy Praline Cookies

January 30, 2012 by Angie 11 Comments

I grew up so close to New Orleans we would jump in the car and buzz right on over there. Just any ole reason was a good one to go and pay them a visit. I love pralines and love anything that reminds me of one. These cookies are crispy and have the buttery praline flavor. This time of the year I always get home sick for some of those wonderful foods…gumbo, crawfish, beignets, cafe au lait, and po boys oh goodness let’s go! Come on!! Or how about some swamp water…. or booo-danh which is a wonderful sausage stuffed with a wild array of things. Oh, goodness back to the cookies ~ sorry. These are somewhat like an ole timey tea cake with a praline flavor and pecans.

Cookies

14 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cup dark brown sugar firmly packed
1 large egg
2 tablespoon whole dried milk~ got mine from King Arthur
1 3/4 cups all ~ purpose flour unbleached
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup finely chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350
Prepare a baking pan, lined with parchment paper
In a standing mixer cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Once butter is light in color slowly add salt, baking soda and dried milk. Mix this well then add egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated completely. Slowly add flour and mix until flour is incorporated. Fold in pecans.

I use a small cookie scoop to make balls of dough and place on baking sheets a good 2 inches a part so cookies do not run together. This is about 1 tablespoon of cookie batter each.

Lightly flour hand and press each cookie until is about 2 inch + circle.

Bake until golden brown about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.

I am going to show you a picture of the dried milk there is three kinds I keep around for my bread and I have learned if I put a little in cakes they turn out so much better? I have the nonfat, buttermilk and the whole milk. You can get this at many of the markets as well. I did get the whole milk powder at King Arthur and the other at Publix’s.

    Wow I see this praline cookie recipe was posted years ago. Glad I found it. My aunt made these cookies when I was a kid and I’ve been searching for a recipe for it. I can not find the dried whole milk and wanted to ask if the dried non fat milk would work? Thanks

    Fannie, I bet it would. I get the whole milk power at King Arthur mail order. I use in bread recipes as well. Enjoy

    I too have a question on your recipe … it list 1 4 tablespoon of butter …
    now that can be interpreted as 1 stick and 4 tablespoons?, or 14 tablespoons (?) … but there is no ‘-‘ between your listings which should read as 1 stick plus 4 tablespoons of butter or 1s+4 tablespoons, or 12 tablespoons? or is it actually 14 tablespoons? [note missing ‘s’ on tablespoons.

    Please advise!
