Renee's Pecan Crunch Cookies image

My grandmother baked the most wonderful cookies, cakes and breads. These she sold during the Depression to make money to help her family. This recipe is among one of my favorites, because I loved crunchy cookies and pecans. This recipe went into my hope chest in 1963.

Time 50m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
  • In a bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter, 1 cup of white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth, and beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir in the flour mixture, and mix the pecans into the dough.
  • Drop the dough by tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Place 1/2 cup of white sugar into a shallow bowl. Moisten the bottom of a drinking glass with a wet cloth, and dip the glass bottom into the sugar. Flatten cookies with the sugared glass, dipping into sugar for each cookie.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 9 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool on sheets for a minute or two before removing to finish cooling on racks.

I'm not a big fan of pecans, but I still enjoyed these cookies. The chocolate chips and toffee bits made up for it.

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

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. They ended up being more like bars than cookies.
