Ok, I must admit I’m a huge cookie fan myself. Give me homemade cookies any day. These Brown Butter Pecan Balls is definitely one I am going to make regularly during the holidays, because it’s that delicious.
Have you ever tried baking with brown butter? Well, if you haven’t then I think it’s time. When you use brown butter to bake you will want to eat the dough before it’s even cooked. I’m not kidding, that aroma of the brown butter is out of this world. It’s slightly caramelized butter with a nutty flavour. I can’t explain just how wonderful my home smells today. The first time I made brown butter I used in its liquid form to make my cookies and I found the dough to be a little too dry. This time round I made the brown butter ahead of time and refrigerated it. I then brought it back to room temperature before mixing my dough. It worked really well and my dough wasn’t as crumbly. Brown butter is really easy to make, you just have to keep a close eye on it to prevent it from burning.
I’ve meaning to do a separate post for my brown butter but I haven’t got around to it. I will do one shortly, however I will give you instructions in my recipe. My pecan nuts was also toasted a little before I added them to my dough. Toasting your nuts gives it a nice little crunch. Once the Brown Butter Pecan Balls are baked it will be crumbly. You have to allow them to cool before it hardens. Don’t be tempted to throw them out. Hope you try these little morsels of heaven and let me know how it goes.
