CARAMEL-TOPPED COOKIE STRIPS

Category: Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg white, beaten
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 to 2/3 cup caramel fudge ice cream topping, warmed

Combine butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder and salt. Beat until well mixed. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 350. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut dough into 3x1 inch strips. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Brush strips with beaten egg white; sprinkle with pecans. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. Cool completely. Just before serving, drizzle each cookie strip with about 1/4 tsp ice cream topping. Makes 5 dozen cookies.
