Low-Fat Butterscotch Oatmeal Pecan Cookies image

Wow these are good for being low-fat! Sometimes to make them even healthier, I replace half the flour with whole wheat flour, and I use 1/4 cup honey to replace half of the light corn syrup. These do not spread out at all. They are wonderful things to pop in your mouth when you want something sweet. This is a variation from Tribole's "Healthy Desserts"

Honey Butterscotch Fondue with Salted Pecan Cookies image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings (5 cups fondue, 24 cookies)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup pecans
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, softened
2 tablespoons cold water
Flaky sea salt
3 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup honey
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup Scotch whisky
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the shortbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
  • In a food processor, pulse together the pecans and sugar just until sandy--do not overpulse, as you don't want a paste. Add the flour and salt; pulse until combined. Cut butter into small cubes and add to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and pulse quickly, until a rough dough forms.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and press into a cohesive dough. Roll to a 1/4-inch thickness. Using a knife or a rectangular cookie cutter, cut into 1-by-3-inch rectangles, about 24 total; re-roll scraps if necessary.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the cookies lightly with sea salt. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Bake until golden brown at the edges, 14 to 17 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool to room temperature.
  • For the fondue: Combine the sugar, water and honey in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until the mixture is a deep-amber caramel color, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Carefully pour in the cream--stand back as the mixture will bubble and splatter. Once the bubbling subsides, turn off the heat and whisk the caramel until smooth.
  • Whisk in the whiskey, butter, salt and vanilla.
  • Pour the sauce into the fondue pots and keep warm.
  • Serve the fondue with the cookies.

BUTTERSCOTCH-PECAN COOKIES



BUTTERSCOTCH-PECAN COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Bean     Dessert     Bake

Yield 6 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. chopped pecans
1 (6 oz.) pkg. butterscotch morsels, finely chopped (food processor is necessary for this)

Steps:

  • Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Combine flour, baking powder, soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture, mixing well (batter will be stiff). Stir in the pecans and chopped butterscotch morsels. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets; cool completely on wire racks. Yield: 5-6 dozen

Tips:

  • Use room-temperature butter: This will help the cookies spread evenly and give them a chewy texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The centers of the cookies should still be slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and flavor.

Conclusion:

Pecan butterscotch cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, buttery flavor, and crunchy pecans, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
