2 ½ C. whole pecans
¾ C. Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening Butter Flavor
¼ C. unrefined coconut oil
1 C. dark brown sugar
½ C. granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. Grandma’s® Molasses
2 eggs
2 tsp. Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
3 C. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. Clabber Girl® Baking Soda
½ tsp. coarse salt
½ C. butterscotch chips
3 tsp. Maldon salt for sprinkling

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place the pecans on a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes or until toasted and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
In the bowl of a mixer, combine the shortening, coconut oil, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat on med-high speed for about 3 minutes or until creamy.
Scrape the sides of the bowl then add the molasses, eggs and vanilla.
Mix on med-low speed until well blended.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
Pour the flour mixture into the mixing bowl and combine on low speed.
Set aside 48 whole pecans and chop the remainder.
Fold the chopped pecans (1 ½ cups) and butterscotch chips into the batter by hand or with the mixer on low speed.
Use a 1 ½ -tablespoon scoop to make balls of dough.
Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches in between each cookie. Press a whole pecan on the top of each cookie.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the tops with Maldon salt.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet.

Tips

Love your cookies extra gooey?! Stack two balls of dough on top of each other and press just enough so the top one will stay in place. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
