The Christmas Cookie Project
Day 1
Pecan Pizza Cookies
The recipe was recently featured in the November/December issue of
Down Home Magazine because it was easy to make but fun and creative! These pecan pizza cookies can be made with all homemade ingredients
(cookie dough, caramel sauce), but you can use store bought ones
(ready made dough, caramel ice cream topping) just as easily. My idea of homemade is pretty broad. I love to cook and bake, but I don't have nearly enough time to achieve my Betty Crocker dreams so I say that if i make it
at home, it qualifies as homemade!! If you can make slice and bake cookies, then you can make these and impress everyone, especially your kids!
Pecan Pizza Cookies
1 batch sugar cookie dough
(1 small tube of refrigerated dough or enough to make about 24 cookies)
1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar mixture (divided in half)
1/2 cup chopped pecans (divided in half)
about 60 pecan halves
1 bottle caramel syrup (or caramel sauce)
1 large baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray (with flour)
pre-heat oven to 350
break cookie dough into 2 pieces
knead 1/2 of cinnamon sugar mixture and 1/2 of chopped nuts
into each ball of dough
refrigerate 5-10 minute until it gets firm
flatten each ball of dough into a circle (about 6 in across)
on the sprayed cookie sheet
top with the pecan halves in the shape of an X
crush remaining pecan halves into big chunks and fill in corners
cook 12-16 minutes, until the center sets
remove from oven & cool
drizzle with caramel syrup while they cool
cut each cookie pizza into 6 triangles with a pizza cutter
Enjoy.....cause Christmas Calories Don't Count!!
