How to Make Praline Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the praline topping:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/4 cup heavy cream.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly (about 2 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 cup chopped pecans until smooth.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, place them on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet to catch any drips.
- Spoon approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the praline mixture onto the top of each cookie.
