Oh these are addicting! The brown sugar adds almost a buttery flavor to these cookies. You may want to hide them. Keep 'em on the kitchen counter, and I think they'll disappear in an instant!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large egg whites
1 c light brown sugar (packed)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract (imitation is fine)
1 pkg pecans, halved (med - lg bag, about 8 oz.)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 250. Beat egg whites till stiff. When your egg whites get fluffy... STOP! If you overbeat them, they will liquify again. *Tips: ~You will get more volume when beating egg whites if you first bring them to room temperature. ~Avoid aluminum bowls which can cause whites to turn gray.
  • 2. Slowly fold in brown sugar and vanilla. (do not mix) *Tip: wooden spoon works best
  • 3. Spray a cookie sheet with Pam or other cooking spray.
  • 4. Dip your pecan halves into the mix and put on your cookie sheet leave enough room for the puffs to spread (about half dollar size). Repeat till your cookie sheet is full.
  • 5. Bake at 250 for about 20 minutes or till golden brown.
  • 6. Let sit for about a minute after removing from oven will help making removal easier. Repeat step four and five until all pecans or mix have been used.

Yield Makes 1 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3/4 cups + 1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour (250 grams)
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans (80 grams)
6 ounces (170 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup + 1 3/4 teaspoons powdered sugar (90 grams)
Additional powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F (convection) or 350°F (standard). Line two sheet pans with Silpats or parchment paper.
  • Toss the flour and pecans together in a medium bowl.
  • Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium-low speed until smooth. Add the 90 grams/3/4 cup plus 1 3/4 teaspoons powdered sugar and mix for about 2 minutes, until fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed for about 30 seconds, until just combined. Scrape the bottom of the bowl to incorporate any dry ingredients that have settled there.
  • Divide the dough into 30-gram/1 1/2-tablespoon portions, roll into balls, and arrange on the sheet pans, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between them. Press the cookies into 2-inch disks.
  • Bake until pale golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes if using a convection oven, 22 to 25 minutes if using a standard oven, reversing the positions of the pans halfway through. (Sandies baked in a convection oven will not spread as much as those baked in a standard oven and will have a more even color.)
  • Set the pans on a cooling rack and cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Using a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely.
  • If desired, dust with powdered sugar.
  • The cookies can be stored in a covered container for up to 3 days.

GALA PECAN SPREAD, MEGAN'S & MOM'S



Gala Pecan Spread, Megan's & Mom's image

I used to love this when Mom made this, and so for my first Thanksgiving married, I made it in a disposable pan and 4x the ingredients. To my surprise, nobody ate it, so I was very thankful to take the majority of it home! I guess if it isn't dessert for the in-laws, or turkey, it isn't getting eaten!
