PECAN POTATO CHIP CRUNCHIES



Pecan Potato Chip Crunchies image

This came out of a supermarket leaflet from Robin Hood flour. These have a light shortbread-like consistency and a surprise crunch. They go over well with kids and are a perfect choice for bake sales. If you have weird kids, you might try this with the ketchup flavoured chips.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup pecan pieces
1 cup unsalted butter plus 2 tbls. butter, room temperature (2 1/2 sticks)
1/3 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar plus 3 tbls. white sugar (granulated)

Steps:

  • Sift the flour and salt together in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Grind the pecans in a food processor until finely chopped but not powdery, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup plus 3 tbls. of the white sugar in a mixing bowl until the ingredients are light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula.
  • Add the dry ingredients and pecans and beat on medium low speed for 20 seconds. Scrape the bow, then beat until the flour and nuts are completely incorporated, about 15 seconds.
  • Spread a 2 foot length of waxed paper on a work surface. With floured fingers, shape the dough into a rough log about 18-20 inches in length along the length of one side of the paper. Roll the log in the waxed paper and twist the ends. Refrigerate the dough for about 2 hours. Cut the log in half if necessary to fit in the fridge.
  • Remove the log from the fridge and with the dough still in the waxed paper, gently roll it back and forth on the work surface to round the log.
  • Place the log back in the fridge a few more hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 300*F.
  • Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or leave them ungreased.
  • Place the log on the work surface, and cut into 1/3" thick slices.
  • Dip one side of each cookie in the remaining 1/2 cup white sugar and place it sugar side up an inch apart on cookie sheets.
  • Bake cookies until firm to the touch and slightly golden, about 25 minutes. Be careful not to underbake these cookies, which changes the texture significantly. To test for doneness, remove one cookie from the sheet and cut in half. There should be no doughy strip in the center.
  • Cool on the cookie sheets. Enjoy!

Tips

  • For the best results, use fresh, unsalted pecan halves. Stale or salted pecans will not yield the same crispy texture.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the baking sheet. If the pecan halves are too close together, they will not crisp up properly.
  • Watch the pecan halves closely while they are baking. They can burn quickly, so it is important to remove them from the oven as soon as they are golden brown.
  • Allow the pecan halves to cool completely before storing them. This will help them to crisp up even more.
  • Store the pecan halves in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion

Pecan potato chip crunchies are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, crunchy, and full of flavor. Plus, they are a great way to use up leftover pecan halves. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack, give pecan potato chip crunchies a try. You won't be disappointed!
