I see you’re looking for a Butter Pecan Cookies recipe. Here’s a basic recipe for delicious Butter Pecan Cookies:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or beat by hand.
- Add Vanilla and Salt:
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
- Incorporate Flour and Pecans:
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want the dough to come together without being overworked.
- Fold in the chopped pecans until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Form Cookie Dough Balls:
- Scoop out portions of dough and roll them into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. You can use a cookie scoop to make this process easier.
- Place on Baking Sheet:
- Place the cookie dough balls on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. You may want to flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork for a classic cookie appearance.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- Cool:
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy:
- Once the cookies have cooled, they are ready to enjoy. Serve with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
These Butter Pecan Cookies are rich, buttery, and have a delightful nutty flavor from the pecans. They make for a wonderful treat any time of the year. Enjoy!
