Caramel Frosted Brown Sugar Cookies consist of a soft‚ cake-like cookie topped with a rich caramel frosting and pecan pieces. There are little bits of crunchy pecan in the batter too. This is a recipe that I’ve adapted somewhat from Nancy Baggett’s The All-American Cookie Book. I love the contrast between the soft cookies with their simple‚ subtle flavors and the rich‚ sweet caramel frosting. Paired together they produce a cookie with just the right amount of sweetness. I think today will be our last stretch of warm weather for a while. Might finally be time to pack away the flip flops. Cold weather makes me want to hibernate in the house and stay in the kitchen with the oven on and bake away. Normally I’m more apt to bake pies or brownies. But I think this Holiday season is going to be all about cookies. I feel certain these Caramel Frosted Brown Sugar Cookies will make a few more appearances at our house this winter. They go wonderfully with a glass of warm milk or a cup of coffee. Kitchen Tools I Use Electric Stand Mixer– A stand mixer is preferred‚ but a hand-held mixer can be used instead. Baking Sheets– I love these heavy duty baking sheets from everything to roasting vegetables to baking cookies. Parchment Paper– use parchment paper for easy clean-up an to prevent the cookies from sticking. Cookie Scoop– a cookie scoop makes it easy to quickly and easily measure out the cookie dough. Wire Rack– great for cooling the cookies. Variations Use walnuts or almonds instead of pecans. Add a sprinkling of sea salt on top for some salty/sweet flavor. How To Store Cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 5 days.
