Pecan Pie Cookies from Denise Crawford

Here is the recipe to the Pecan Cookies I brought last night to RS.  It was a last day decision to make them so too late to send in the recipe.  Denise Crawford


INGREDIENTS

FOR CRUST:

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

FOR TOPPING:

  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 cups chopped pecans

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a 9x13-inch pan with foil, leaving enough for a 2-inch overhang on all sides.

First make the crust by creaming together the butter and brown sugar until fluffy in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add in the flour and salt and mix until crumbly.

Press the crust into the foil-lined pan and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.

While the crust bakes, prepare the filling by combining the butter, brown sugar, honey and heavy cream in a saucepan and stirring it over medium heat. Simmer the mixture for 1 minute, then stir in the chopped pecans.

Remove the crust from the oven and immediately pour the pecan filling over the hot crust spreading it to cover the entire surface.

Return the pan to the oven and bake an additional 20 minutes.

Remove the pan and allow the bars to fully cool in the pan.

Use the foil overhang to lift out the bars and transfer them to a cutting board. Peel off the foil, slice into bars and serve.

Cilantro Lime Rice for 200
Cilantro Lime Rice Serves: 200

50 Cups rice, uncooked, long- grain white
1 Cups butter
2 Cups minced garlic
1 Pints lime juice
6 Gallons chicken broth
3 Gallons lime juice, fresh
2 Cups sugar
9 Cups cilantro, fresh chopped

Cook rice with butter, garlic, 1 pint lime juice, chicken broth, and water. Remove from heat and toss with lime juice, sugar, and cilantro mix.

Obviously you'll need to do smaller batches. My friend has a professional rice cooker and it can do batches of 20 cups. I would probably do it in 3 batches.

So for each batch: 20 cups cooked rice cooked in 2 gal chicken broth (or water with "Better than Bullion", 1 cup lime juice, and 1/2 cup minced garlic.
tossed with 6-8 cups lime juice, 1 cup sugar, and 3 cups chopped, fresh cilantro.

Cilantro Lime Rice Serves: 4
1 Cup rice, uncooked, long- grain white
1 Teaspoons butter
2 Teaspoons minced garlic
1 Tablespoons lime juice
15 Ounces chicken broth
1 Cups water
1 Tablespoons lime juice, fresh
2 Teaspoons sugar
3 Tablespoons cilantro, fresh chopped
