Oat Pecan Cookies with Whiskey Frosting

This quick drop cookie isn’t far from the oatmeal raisin cookies of youth, but this version replaces the raisins with pecans. The frosting — a simple combination of powdered sugar, whisky and cream — dresses it up for grown-ups, and since is not cooked, the whiskey comes through with a pleasant little nip.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 225g) unsalted butter
  • ½ cup (60g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (60g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp whisky
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • 3 cups (360g) oats (not steel cut)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Frosting

  • 1 ½ cups (180g) powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp whisky
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream (or half and half, or whole milk)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
  2. In a bowl, blend together the flour, salt, baking soda and spices.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and the tablespoon of whisky and beat to blend.
  4. In two or three additions, add the dry mixture into the wet mixture and blend together. Add the oats and pecans and mix until the oats and nuts are evenly distributed.
  5. Drop the cookies on an ungreased sheet in rounded teaspoonfuls. Bake about 10 minutes, or until cookies have lightly browned. Put on a wire rack to cool.
  6. While cookies are cooling, make the frosting. In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, whisky and cream and whisk gently until combined. This will take just a few seconds. The frosting will be a thick liquid.
  7. Using a knife or pastry brush (easier to manage on the bumpy cookie surface), spread the frosting on the cooled cookie and put aside to set up.
