I used to have these when I visited my grandmother. I couldn’t get enough of them!
1/2 c. + 2 T Pecans, chopped fine
1/4 c. Flour
1/2 stick Unsalted Butter
1/4 c. Packed Dark Brown Sugar
1/4 c. Light Corn Syrup
Combine first 2 ingredients in a bowl.
Set aside.
In a sauce pan, bring remaining ingredients to a boil.
Add flour mixture and let sit 25 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Roll dough into 1” balls & place on HEAVY cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake 12 minutes or until no longer “bubbly”
Cool 4 minutes and shape around rods & cones for “cigarette” cookies & “ice cream” holders.
Place on juice glass for a “basket”
If cookies begin to stiffen, return to oven for 1 – 2 minutes until pliable.
NOTE: You don’t have to “form” them. Just leave round – they taste the same!
Ever since my 8th grade home economics class, where I made boxed tacos for the first time, I knew cooking was in my blood. I've had the honor of having my recipes published in New Hampshire Magazine, Taste of Home, the Nashua Telegraph and several cookbooks.
