Number Of Ingredients 13

1 c all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking baking
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

1 c granulated sugar
1/4 c brown sugar, packed

1 c rice krispies

1 1/2 c finely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium size bowl; set aside
  • 2. Beat cool and softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-low speed until combined, about 20 seconds. Increase speed to medium and continue to beat for 1 minute until mixture is light and fluffy. Scrape down bowl as needed. Add egg and vanilla; beat on medium-low until combined scraping down bowl frequently. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixure and mix until just well combined and smooth, approximately 10 seconds. Gradually stir in granola and Rice Krispies; mix about 20 seconds. Check for flour pockets and stir dough again with spoon once or twice.
  • 3. Using a small scoop (about 2 tbs.) roll into balls and place them on cookie sheet about 2 1/2 inches apart (these spread out due to butter amounts!). With your fingers, gently press each ball to 3/4 inch thickness.
  • 4. Bake one sheet at a time until cookies are golden brown and edges are crisp; the centers yield to light pressure. Rotate sheet halfway through baking. Bake 12 - 15 minutes (depending on your oven). Let cookies cool on cookie sheet.
  • 5. Melt chocolate over steaming water (not boiling). Choose a good chocolate, or perhaps Hersey Chocolate bars. Drizzle lightly over cookies and immediately sprinkle with crushed pecans.
