Ingredients

1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons rum or water
3/4 cup pecans
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Step 10: In a small bowl, stir together eggs, cream, and vanilla extract.

Step 11: Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine. The dough will be sticky.

Step 13: With lightly floured hands pat the dough into a 9-inch-diameter circle in the center of the prepared cookie sheet.
