Praline Cookies


This is a recipe that came with my small Pampered Chef scoop. These little cookies have just the right amount of sweetness. I included these in my annual goodie package to my Dad's office in San Antonio. He said they fought over them last year, so I doubled up on the recipe this year!

Unfortunately, I had some problems with this recipe. The dough was really crumbly and the cookies were pretty tough on the outside but nearly raw on the inside. Bummer.

Turned out yummy!!! I added a candy cherrie on top and it was sooooo good!!!! You could also add chopped cherries in the mid too!!

I made these, and several people told me they were the best cookies I have ever made. Since I have been baking for 30+ years, that's quite a compliment!

Would a measured Tbs. count as a small scoop? I'm not sure what to use as a small scoop.

Stephanie Parker said...

Tricia - a small scoop is about a tablespoon

I just finished making these. After tasting them, I decided that something was missing. Have you ever considered adding a bit of salt to the recipe? I think that would help it out a lot.

Stephanie Parker said...

Ranee - I haven't. I think they are fantastic just the way they are, but feel free to change it up to fit your taste.
