Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 sticks butter softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

Pecan Praline

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 2 ounces white chocolate
  • 2 ounces semisweet chocolate

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and the sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg and continue mixing until combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add to the stand mixer while on low. Mix until just coming together.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 days.
  • Bring cream, brown sugar and pecans to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Boil for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Let cool.
  • Heat oven to 375 F.
  • Divide dough into four pieces. Place on parchment paper and roll each piece into a 15 inch by 3 inch long strip. Trim edges and sides to be even. Score the dough into 1 1/2 inch squares. Drop 1/2 tsp of praline filling onto each square.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes until golden. Remove and cut through the score marks while still warm. Cool completely.
  • Melt the chocolate over low heat on the stove or slowly in the microwave. Drizzle both white and semisweet chocolate over cookies and allow to set completely before serving.
