Try this amazing recipe for Butter Pecan Cookies

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick, 112g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (70g) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (140g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (80g) pecans, chopped

Instructions

  • Make cookie dough:

    With an electric mixer, beat the butter for about a minute. Add sugar and beat until light, about 1 minute more. Beat in vanilla, salt, and flour, scraping down sides of bowl, just until dough comes together. Fold in pecans.

  • Roll into balls, place on cookie sheet:

    Separate dough into 12 pieces; shape dough into walnut-sized balls. Place 3 inches apart on a baking sheet.

  • Gently flatten with a glass:

    Using the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie. Reshape sides if necessary.

  • Bake at 350°F until golden brown:

    Bake 15 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through for even cooking. Remove and cool cookies on a wire rack.

Notes

  • It’s not necessary to grease the baking sheets or line them with parchment paper for this recipe. But for easier cleanup, line your sheets with parchment.
  • To make the cookies more even in shape, you can bake them in a muffin pan. But you’ll still want to flatten the cookies before baking.
  • To keep the dough from sticking to the glass when flattening, chill the glass beforehand, or dip the bottom in sugar in between cookies.
