Time 2h30m

Yield about 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/3 cups pecans
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons rye whiskey
3/4 cup dark rye flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons water

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely. Set 24 whole pecans aside for topping and finely chop the rest; transfer to a bowl. Pour 2 tablespoons whiskey over the chopped nuts, stir to coat and let sit until almost all the whiskey is absorbed, at least 10 minutes.
  • Whisk the rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the pecan-whiskey mixture and the vanilla until just combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture until combined.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls, squeezing the dough together if it is crumbly. Arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared pans and press a pecan into the top of each.
  • Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are just set around the edges but the centers are still soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on the pans.
  • Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, the remaining 2 teaspoons whiskey and 2 teaspoons water in a small bowl until smooth and thick. Gradually stir in up to 1 more teaspoon water to thin if necessary. Drizzle over the cookies; let set 10 to 15 minutes.

Overall, these cookies are pretty good. I think they would be even better with a little bit of tweaking.

These cookies are too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra butter next time.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. I think I may have overmixed the dough.

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of rye flour, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The pecans and spices really balance out the flavor of the rye.

I've tried many pecan rye cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, with a delicious nutty flavor. I highly recommend them!

These cookies were a hit at my holiday party! They're so flavorful and have the perfect amount of crunch. I'll definitely be making them again next year.
