We have many pecan trees in this part of the country, so I like to make recipes with the nuts. I usually make these cookies during the holidays. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
4 cups packed brown sugar |
4 eggs |
1/4 teaspoon anise extract |
6 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 teaspoon each ground allspice, cinnamon, cloves and ginger |
3 cups finely chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add extract. Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and spices; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Add pecans; mix well. Shape into four 15-in. rolls; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
2. Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 20 dozen.
