Polly’s Brown Lace Cookies

This recipe comes from an Aspen friend of Ja and Moogie’s. They are decadent but delicious. I usually make them around Christmas.

Blend in Cuisinart fitted with a steel blade:

2 c brown sugar
½ stick butter
2 eggs
½ c flour
1 t vanilla

Then add, stirring in by hand:

2 c medium chopped pecans

Chill for one hour or overnight.

Rolldough  into 1” balls [I make them about half that size as they are easier to remove from the pan after cooking - see below]

Put balls on a greased and floured cookie sheet.

Cook at 375 degrees F [Moogie notes 350 degree preference] 7-8 minutes.

Cool 2-3 minutes in pan before removing. [These can be a bit difficult to remove in one piece. I find it helps a bit if I put the pan outside in the winter cold (or in the freezer) for about a minute and then remove.]
