Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until the mixture is smooth.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans. Don’t overmix!
- Shape & Bake: Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet. Use your thumb or a small spoon to create an indentation in the center of each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
Notes
- Serving: These cookies are a great addition to any holiday platter. For a fancier look, drizzle them with a simple powdered sugar glaze or melted chocolate.
- Tips: Make sure your butter and egg are at room temperature for the best dough consistency.
- Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the unbaked dough or the baked cookies for up to a month.
