I have been making these delicious cookies for my family for 15 years, they love the pecan and cardamom flavor. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg, separated |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon cardamom |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup chopped pecans |
1 1/2 tablespoons butter |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 tablespoon milk, or as needed |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Grease a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1cup of butter, white sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of vanilla. Combine the flour, cardamom and salt; stir into the batter until it forms a soft dough. Spread evenly in the prepared pan. Brush the top with egg white and sprinkle pecans over the top.
3. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Prepare the frosting while the cookies bake.
4. Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over low heat until it starts to brown. Remove from the heat and stir in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir in enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle frosting onto the bars when warm. Cool, then cut into bars.
