Cookie Week: Yummy Cookies

Hello everyone! My name is Andrea and I blog over at Worley House! I’m so excited for this series that Kate is doing, what a fun way to share new recipes and make new friends!

This cookie recipe is a great one for Fall and the Thanksgiving Holiday. These are super simple to make, so let’s get started!

Here’s what you’ll need:
1 cup chopped pecans (set half aside right away for the glaze)
1 1/2 cups All purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter softened
1 egg
For the glaze you’ll need:
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup half and half
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 3/4 cups powered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 10-12 minutes. 
In a small bowl mix together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl beat together brown sugar and butter on medium speed till combined. Add egg, beat till fluffy. Add flour mixture to butter mixture. Beat until combined, stir in 1/2 cup pecans. 
Drop by rounded teaspoon full onto cookie sheet. (I used my measuring teaspoon for this.)
For glaze; In a small sauce pan combine half and half and brown sugar together and bring to a boil. Stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in powered sugar. 
Sprinkle remaining pecans over cookies and drizzle with glaze. 
Enjoy with a cold glass of milk!

FYI – I think that should read 1/4 TEASPOON of baking soda?

Sorry for the dumb question, but do you bake first then add the drizzle? Thanks for clarifying!
