PAN-BANGING PECAN SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with foil.
• Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
• Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Beat on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg and beat until combined.
• With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients. Beat on low until just combined. Add the chopped chocolate toffee bars and pecans and stir to combine.
• Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop leveled mounds of cookie dough evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheets. Roll each mound into a ball. Transfer 1 baking sheet to the freezer and freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer the frozen baking sheet to the oven (meanwhile, transfer the second baking sheet to the freezer) and bake until the edges have melted and the center is still domed, about 10 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven and bang it firmly on a work surface until a small ripple forms around the outer edge. Return it to the oven and bake until the center puffs up, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven and bang it again firmly on a work surface until the edges are rippled and golden brown and the center is soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining baking sheets, freezing the third baking sheet for 20 minutes while the second baking sheet is in the oven.

SNICKERDOODLE PARTY COOKIES

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Cook butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until it foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Scrape into the bowl of a stand mixer. Let brown butter cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, 1 1/2 tsp. cardamom, and 1 tsp. cinnamon in a medium bowl.
• Add brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar to brown butter. Fit bowl onto stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until thick, about 1 minute. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue to mix just until smooth, about 1 minute longer. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients; beat until nearly combined. Add Skor bars and beat just long enough to bring dough together (it will be a little loose). Cover and let rest 5-10 minutes to let flour hydrate (dough will thicken).
• Place cornflakes in a small bowl. Mix remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp. cardamom, and 1 tsp. cinnamon in another small bowl. Working one at a time, scoop out 2-tablespoonfuls of dough (they don't need to be perfect balls) and toss in cornflakes to coat well; squeeze lightly to adhere. Move to bowl with spiced sugar and toss to coat. Divide between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 3" apart.
• Bake cookies, rotating baking sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until edges are set, 13-16 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets. Brush with gold dust if desired.
• Do Ahead
• Cookies can be baked 5 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
