December 2017 November 2017 October 2017 September 2017 August 2017 July 2017 June 2017		Perfect Pecan Treats This holiday season, treat your friends and family to these perfect pecan treats. Pecan Raisin Oatmeal Cookies (Makes 30-35 cookies) 1 1/2 cups pecans 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed 1 cup granulated sugar 2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon kosher salt 3 cups old-fashioned oatmeal 1 1/2 cups raisins Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place pecans on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes until crisp. Set aside to cool, then chop coarsely. Using a paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Switch to low speed and add eggs, 1 at a time, and vanilla. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a medium bowl. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Add oats, raisins and pecans and mix just until combined. Drop 2-inch mounds of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Flatten slightly with a damp hand. Bake 12-15 minutes until lightly browned. Transfer to a baking rack and cool completely before serving. Spiced Pecans (Serves 6-8) 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter 1/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar 1 tablespoon soy sauce 2 cups pecan halves Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, mix salt, chili powder, cumin, allspice, cayenne, cinnamon and paprika. Add butter to large skillet over medium-high heat. When butter is melted, add sugar and soy sauce. Stir together to melt, then stir in spice mixture. Add pecans and toss until the butter is absorbed (2-3 minutes). Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until fragrant and toasted and the coating is caramelized (15 minutes). Cool the pecans slightly before serving warm. Source: Food Network
