- 1 1/2 cups bread flour ๐

Instructions:

Cream Butter: In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
-
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the brown sugar and egg to the butter, continuing to mix until well combined.

Add Pecans: Gently fold in the pecan halves until evenly distributed throughout the dough, creating a delightful texture and flavor.
-
Shape Dough: Using your hands, shape the dough into small balls, roughly the size of a nut, and place them onto a buttered cookie sheet, leaving some space between each for spreading.
-
Flatten Cookies: With the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each dough ball until they are approximately 1/8-inch thick, creating a uniform shape for baking.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown around the edges and set in the center.
-
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and develop their signature texture.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, arrange the Cloverbloom Praline Cookies on a festive platter and watch as they disappear in moments, leaving behind smiles and memories of holidays past.
