CAJUN PECAN COCOONS



Cajun Pecan Cocoons image

My husband is from South Louisiana and doesn't have any family here. To show my appreciation for all he does for me, I try to learn all his favorite things and this is one of them. His best friends mom made them for our wedding and she passed the recipe on to me.

PECAN FINGER COOKIES



Pecan Finger Cookies image

A heritage recipe from my Mama's collection, these pecan shortbread finger cookies are known by many names. Mama's recipe is just perfect and it is the one Christmas cookie above all others in my holiday baking!

Categories     Desserts, Cookies, Cookies and Bars

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound salted butter
8 tablespoons powdered sugar
5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons pure vanilla extract (yes, that is 8 T. and it is accurate y'all)
2 cups lightly salted chopped pecans
Additional powdered sugar for rolling finished cookie

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cream the butter, add the sugar and blend together. Add remaining ingredients, mixing well.
  • Chill dough for about 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  • Shape into small finger shaped logs and bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • May also bend and shape dough into a crescent shape for Crescent Cookies or Cocoons, or roll into a ball for Snowball Cookies.
  • Let cool slightly so that you can handle them but while still warm, roll in the extra powdered sugar to coat; re-roll in the powdered sugar several times if desired. I usually roll mine two or three times.
  • Set aside to cool completely before storing.

COCOONS



Cocoons image

A Christmas tradition handed down from my great grandmother. Some people call these sand tarts or wedding cookies, we called them cocoons because of their shape. Whatever you decide to call them, they are a wonderful, melt in your mouth, not too sweet perfect little two bite cookie.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 cup pecans, finely chopped- I like mine to be almost ground
1 cup confectioners' sugar, for coating cookies

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until smooth.
  • Add vanilla, combine.
  • Add the flour, combine.
  • Mix in the pecans.
  • Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough, I use a cookie/ice cream scoop, shape into into a cocoon- about 2" by 1/2".
  • Place the cookies on cookies sheet, you can put them fairly close together as they do not rise or spread very much.I always use parchment paper on my cookies sheets.
  • Bake about 45 minutes, you don't really want them to be brown.
  • While the cookies are baking, prepare the powdered sugar. Place some in a large bowl or container, then as you take the cookies out of the oven, layer them with powdered sugar in the bowl I just leave them in the powdered sugar until they cool.
  • Dig them out and tap the sugar off- this is messy but fun- I like a thick layer of sugar on mine and sifting the sugar over the cookies doesn't get them like I want.
  • The ones you don't eat right away keep well in an airtight container.
