At Christmastime, it's fun to dig out those special holiday recipes your family loves. My kids would really miss these drizzled, candy-topped cookies if they weren't part of my treat selection. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup chopped pecans |
1 cup crushed cornflakes |
icing: |
1/3 cup water |
1/4 cup light corn syrup |
5 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup red and green m&m's® brand chocolate candies |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in pecans and cornflakes.
2. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. (Dough will spread during baking and cookies will be thin.) Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
3. In a large saucepan, combine water and corn syrup; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Drizzle over cookies; top with M&M's. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 6 dozen.
