Brown Sugar Praline Cookies

There’s nothing like biting into a nice delicious cookie. These Brown Sugar Praline Cookies are moist from the brown sugar and sweet from the praline topping. And don’t even get me started on the chocolate chips. So good!

When I see a recipe using brown sugar, I gravitate towards it.

Brown sugar makes a cookie not only softer, but keeps it moist days longer than granulated sugar.

In other words, sign me up.

Drizzle and pecans topping a sugary treat.

Making Brown Sugar Praline Cookies

First, you make the cookie batter, bake them, then add the praline topping afterwards.

So, let’s bake cookies.

In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar and butter on medium speed until they are thoroughly blended and fluffy.

This also gives the brown sugar time to break down a little.

Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract.

Meanwhile, mix the dry ingredients together in a smaller bowl; flour, baking powder, and salt.

Reducing the speed to low, add the dry ingredients to the brown sugar mixture.

Make sure to scrape the sides until everything is well combined.

Next, add in the chocolate chips. Oh, how I love those chocolate chips.

If you haven’t already preheated the oven to 350°, do so now.

Grease the cookie sheets, or bake on parchment paper. Either works great.

Drop by rounded tablespoon onto baking sheet.

Into the oven they go. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes, or until they just start to turn a light brown.

Let them cool slightly on the cookie sheet for 3 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack where they can cool completely.

Praline Topping

In a small bowl, whisk the cream and powdered sugar together.

Also, have your pecans standing by.

Pour the cream mixture into a small baggie and cut a tiny corner off.

Drizzle the cream mixture over the cookies in small batches and immediately sprinkle with pecans.

It’s important to follow with the pecans right away before the drizzle sets up.

By adding the pecans right away, they stick to the drizzle and won’t fall off with your first bite.

Finish off all the cookies the same way, and store in air-tight container in the refrigerator.

I highly recommend sampling as you go, if only to keep your strength up.
