Yield Makes about 5 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsulfured molasses
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup bourbon
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
4 cups coarsely chopped pecans, toasted

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, allspice, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Melt molasses and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Stir in bourbon. Transfer to a medium bowl; whisk in sugar until smooth. Stir in flour mixture and 1 cup pecans. Refrigerate dough until firm, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Scoop balls of dough using a 11/4-inch (1 ounce) ice cream scoop; roll in remaining 3 cups pecans. Space 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake until flattened and lightly colored on edges, 9 to 11 minutes. Let cool on sheets 3 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool completely.
