Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 (8 ounce) package chopped pitted dates
1 egg, beaten
3 cups crispy rice cereal
1 cup chopped coconut
½ cup chopped drained maraschino cherries

Steps:

  • Remove skillet from heat, add egg, and stir quickly to prevent the egg from cooking.

  • Remove skillet from heat. Stir rice cereal, chopped coconut, chopped cherries, and vanilla extract with the dates. Let mixture cool until beginning to firm, about 10 minutes.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dessert     Cookies     Christmas     Butter     Pecan     Maple Syrup     Cast Iron     Bake     Vegetarian     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Kid-Friendly     Winter

Yield Makes about 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1⅓ cups (160 g) chopped pecans
4 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
10 Tbsp. chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for pan
1¼ cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
6 Tbsp. (packed; 75 g) light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
3 Tbsp. (or more) whole milk
Coarse white sanding sugar and edible glitter (for decorating)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Toss pecans, maple syrup, and ½ tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Scrape onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and spread nuts into a single layer. Bake until pecans are slightly darkened and syrup is dark and bubbling, 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully toss pecans in hot syrup to coat again. Let cool on baking sheet until caramel hardens, about 30 minutes. Break up candied pecans into pieces; discard any burned bits.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Generously butter a 10" cast-iron or stainless-steel skillet; line bottom with a round of parchment paper and butter parchment. Pulse flour, brown sugar, half of candied pecans, and 1¼ tsp. salt in a food processor until nuts are finely chopped. Add egg, 1 Tbsp. vanilla, and remaining 10 Tbsp. butter and process until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Transfer dough to a large bowl and knead a couple of times just to bring it together. Using damp hands, pat dough evenly into skillet, extending all the way to the sides of the pan. Bake cookie until edges are golden brown and center is slightly puffed, 30-35 minutes. Let cool in skillet 1 hour. Invert cookie onto a cutting board and cut into 16 wedges. Turn right side up and transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Whisk powdered sugar, milk, remaining ¼ tsp. salt, and remaining 1 tsp. vanilla in a small wide bowl until smooth. The glaze should be the consistency of heavy cream; thin with more milk if needed. Transfer half of the glaze to another small wide bowl (you'll need to use 2 bowls as the glaze will start to collect crumbs and you'll want a fresh start).
  • Working one at a time, lightly dip half of the wedges, top side down, into first bowl of glaze so that only the surface is covered and no glaze drips down the sides. Use a toothpick to pop any bubbles and smooth glaze; coating should be thin enough to see the cookie peeking through. Repeat with remaining wedges and second bowl of glaze.
  • Top wedges with remaining candied pecans and let sit 10 minutes. Sprinkle with sanding sugar and glitter and let sit until glaze is set, about 1 hour.
  • Do Ahead: Cookies can be baked 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield about 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 3/4 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, diced, plus 4 tablespoons melted
3/4 cup dried cranberries
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, lime zest, cardamom and salt in a medium bowl. Work in the diced butter with your fingertips until the mixture looks sandy. Stir in the dried cranberries. Lightly beat the eggs and heavy cream in a small bowl, then stir into the flour mixture to make a shaggy dough. Transfer to a sheet of plastic wrap; shape into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Roll out the dough on a generously floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out circles with a 1 1/2- to 2-inch round cookie cutter; arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to cook, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Put the remaining 1 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Working in batches, brush the skillet with melted butter, then add the dough rounds. Cook until lightly browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Brush the skillet with more butter between batches.) Toss the warm cookies in the sugar, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days; the texture actually improves after a day.
