Butter pecan cookies
Ingredients
• 1 cup pecans, chopped
• 7 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• A pinch of salt
• Pecan halves for the top of each cookie
Directions
Make sure to preheat your oven to 350 degrees and cover two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Next, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and creamy.
Then add the eggs, vanilla extract and beat again for another two minutes. Immediately add the flour, baking soda, salt and mix until well blended.
When finished, place the balls, using a medium cookie spoon, on the prepared baking sheets and add half a pecan on top of each cookie. Bake until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Finally, cool the cookies on a wire rack.
