Cookie of the Day: Praline Cookies

Ah, pralines.  Creamy, sugary, nutty, wonderful pecan pralines—the true gold of the Southern United States.  Pralines are glorious.  But, they’re never more splendid than when they sit atop magnificent cookies.  My mother has been making these delectable cookies for a few years now, and I love them.  The cookies themselves are slightly chewy, but with a melt-in-your-mouth quality that is heavenly.  Then, add a rich, majestic praline to the top and you’ve got an idea of what true rapture is like.  What better way is there to celebrate the Christmas season than with a cookie that reminds you of all of the beauty that we can find each day.
