Pecan Pie Cookies

1 prepared single pie crust (homemade or purchased, I used Pillsbury)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ cup pecans, chopped
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup corn syrup
2 eggs
⅛ teaspoon salt
Optional:
¼ cup semi sweet or milk chocolate chip for decorating.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large non-stick pan, combine butter, pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt and eggs. Cook on the stove top over medium-low heat just until thickened. (You don't want it dry, just slightly thickened, about the consistency of pudding). Remove from heat and set aside.
Unroll dough and using a 3" cookie cutter, cut out circles. Gently fold about ⅛-1/4" up on the edges.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pecan mixture into each circle.
Place on a parchment lined pan (it's important to line it) and bake 8 minutes or until filling is just set. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

PEANUT BUTTER FREE NO BAKE COOKIES

Posted by Unknown with No comments | in chocolate, cooking, no sugar, Recipe, weight

PEANUT BUTTER FREE NO BAKE COOKIES

I have been making no bake cookies since I was a kid. They were one of the first recipes that I learned to make and I have made them many times over the years.
No bake cookies make a perfect summertime cookie. Kids love them and they do not require that you heat the oven. These are both things I look for in a summertime dessert.
However, the recipe that I have been making for years comes from my mom, and it contained peanut butter.
No bake cookies were one of those recipes that I knew I was going to miss, but then I started wondering why I couldn’t make them without peanut butter. I figured the worst they could be was a little dry, so I gave it a try.
I simply followed my mom’s recipe, but left out the peanut butter. Well, okay I added a few chocolate chips, but they are the same basic recipe.
These are so good. I was a little surprised at how well they turned out. We loved them.
I think even those that can eat peanut butter would enjoy these. It saves a little fat and calories if you leave the peanut butter out. It also makes them more frugal. And if you are gluten free, you can easily using gluten free oats in these and have an easy gluten free cookie as well.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup(s) sugar.
1/4 cup(s) Hershey's Cocoa
3 cup(s) quick cooking rolled oats
1 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup(s) regular butter
1/2 cup(s) fat free milk

Directions:

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
Mix oats and coconut in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
Stir sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and margarine together in a saucepan over medium heat until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over the oats and coconut and quickly mix to coat. Drop by tablespoon onto prepared baking sheet; let cookies cool and harden. Store in an airtight container..

We took a Sunday drive (a habit, it would seem as of late) to the Angeles National Forest and needed a quick treat and these were perfect. Except it did make me a little woosey (ALOT woosey). All those switchbacks, the sugar, the headache, the children...oy. I can barely talk about it, let alone type it.
