THE GOLD LINING GIRL

You’ll love the hint of caramel, thick layer of brown sugar icing, and sprinkling of pecans featured in these Pecan Praline Amish Sugar Cookies. And they’re so puffy, pillowy, and soft — these Pecan Praline Amish Sugar Cookies literally melt in your mouth!

I made a dizzying amount of Amish Sugar Cookies for fall and the holidays. I was practically swimming in Amish Sugar Cookies a few weeks ago. I was eating Christmas cookies in August this year!! (You’ll see those recipes in another month or so.)

I thought I was done baking all the variations I was going to share in 2018, but these Pecan Praline Amish Sugar Cookies were a last minute throw-in.

I can’t remember what compelled me to decide that I needed to make yet another version, but here they are! The cookies are tinged with caramel flavoring, and they feature a thick layer of caramel-brown sugar icing, as well as a sprinkling of pecans.

These Pecan Praline Amish Sugar Cookies still retain the best features of traditional Amish Sugar Cookies: they’re a lot like a cut-out cookie, but they’re a drop cookie, so they’re a fraction of the work. No chilling, no rolling & cutting. They’re very soft, puffy, and pillowy.
