Took a break from cookies today to do another favorite Christmas treat. This recipe is courtesy of my mom. Every Christmas, she makes these and they are consumed at lightening speed! Her recipe only called for pecans, but I wanted to try almonds too. If you like those sugared nuts they sell at baseball parks and fairs, you will LOVE these.
Sugared Pecans and Almonds
1 egg white
1/2 C packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon
4 C pecans, almonds or nut of your choice
parchment paper
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Beat the egg white until stiff. Add the brown dugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir until well mixed, then add the nuts. Continue stiring until the nuts are coated. Pour out onto prepared cookie sheet.
Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven and stir again. Repeat two more times (bake/stir) or until the nuts have a dry look to them and are slightly browned. Watch carefully so they don't burn. Remove from oven. Let cool completely before packaging.
