Crunchy Praline Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Cookie Dough
1/2 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar (light or dark)
1 large egg
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pecan Topping
1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans (walnuts may be substituted)
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup sour cream

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the topping ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
Cream together butter and sugar, then add the egg.
Sift dry ingredients together, then add together.
Roll dough into half-inch balls and place on a greased cookie sheet.
With the end of a wooden spoon, or with a dowel, make a small well in each ball.
Place 1/4 teaspoon pecan topping in each cookie.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, keeping an eye on them towards the end as they can burn quickly.
Cool on a rack and store in an airtight container.
Note: Original recipe called for 1 Tablespoon whiskey, bourbon or orange juice to be added along with the egg, but I've never used it and found they turn out fine without.
