 Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Desserts, Nuts, Dairy
      Yield: 36 Servings
 
      1 c  Unsalted butter; in chunks
      1 c  Chopped pecans
    3/4 c  Powdered sugar
    1/4 c  Packed brown sugar
      3 tb Half & half or light cream
      2 ts Vanilla
    1/2 ts Salt
      2 c  Unbleached all-purpose
           - flour
           Coarse sugar (opt)
     36    Pecan halves
           Molasses or maple syrup
           - (opt)
 
  Position a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to
  350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Grease baking sheets or line with parchment; set aside.
  
  In a medium heavy saucepan bring butter to boiling over
  medium heat (it will be foamy). Adjust heat so it bubbles
  gently. Cook, stirring the bottom frequently, until
  fragrant and golden, about 6 to 8 minutes. Watch carefully
  to avoid burning. Stir in chopped pecans (it's normal for
  mixture to foam up). Return to a gentle boil. Cook,
  watching carefully, for 1 to 2 minutes (if pecans begin to
  darken, immediately remove pan from heat). Transfer
  butter-pecan mixture to a large bowl. Cool about 15
  minutes.
  
  Stir powdered sugar, brown sugar, 3 tablespoons
  half-and-half, vanilla, and salt into the cooled
  butter-pecan mixture until smoothly incorporated. Stir in
  flour until fully incorporated. If mixture is crumbly,
  work in additional half-and-half until it holds together,
  but is not wet. If mixture is wet, let stand for 5 to 10
  minutes more.
  
  Divide dough into thirds. Divide each third into 12 equal
  balls. Roll each bowl in coarse sugar, if desired. Place
  balls about 2 1/2" apart on prepared baking sheets; press
  a pecan half firmly into each. if edges of the rounds
  crack, just push back together.
  
  Bake one baking sheet at a time for 10 to 13 minutes or
  until cookies are just beginning to brown. Rotate baking
  sheet from front to back about halfway through.
  
  Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack. Let cool 5 minutes
  to firm up. Using a wide spatula, transfer cookies to wire
  rack. Brush pecans on top with molasses or maple syrup, if
  desired. Cool completely.
