http://itsabcd.blogspot.com/2010/02/derby-day-cookie.html Whether you're watching the Derby on television, (like I will be) or partying it up, wearing your most flamboyant hat, make sure you have your frosty, silver vessel filled with a refreshing Mint Julep in one hand, and a Derby Day cookie in the other.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 C flour shopping list
- 1 tsp baking soda shopping list
- 1 tsp salt shopping list
- 1/2 lb butter, at room temperature shopping list
- 3/4 C packed brown sugar shopping list
- 1/4 C granulated sugar shopping list
- 1 pkg. (3.4 oz) Jello™ French vanilla flavor instant pudding shopping list
- 2 ( large) eggs shopping list
- 1 tsp bourbon extract* or pure vanilla extract shopping list
- 1 C toasted pecans, coarsely chopped shopping list
- 1/8 C good Kentucky bourbon shopping list
- 1/2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips shopping list
- Garnish: 18-36 whole pecans shopping list
How to make it
- Place the toasted pecans in a small bowl or ziploc bag. Pour bourbon over pecans, tossing to coat well. Set aside for 1-2 hours. (You may want to soak the pecans overnight to infuse more bourbon flavor.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Sift together first 3 ingredients into a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a large mixer bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add instant pudding, mixing well. Add eggs and bourbon or vanilla extract, mixing until well blended. Scrape down sides of bowl as necessary. Slowly add flour, mixing well. Stir in the pecans and semi-sweet chips, blending well.
- Using a standard ice cream scoop (2 oz), or rounded spoonful, drop dough on to an un-greased, parchment lined baking sheet. Top each cookie with a whole pecan.
- For 2 oz cookie, bake at 350 degrees for 16-18 minutes. For rounded tablespoon-sized cookies, bake 12-14 minutes. After one minute, transfer from pan to wire rack to cool.
