🍽️ How To Make Butter Pecan Cookies
🌡️ Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Make sure your oven is preheated to 350°C.
Cover two baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure easy cookie removal and prevent sticking.
🧈 Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
Using an electric mixer, whisk together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and creamy. This should take about 2 minutes for that perfect texture.
🥚 Step 3: Add the Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat again for another 2 minutes until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth and fluffy.
🥄 Step 4: Incorporate Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well combined, forming a soft, slightly sticky dough.
🥥 Step 5: Shape the Cookies
Using a medium spatula or cookie scoop, place balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
Gently press half a pecan on top of each cookie ball to add a touch of elegance and a crunchy finish.
🔥 Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies turn a golden brown.
The edges should be slightly crisp while the centers remain soft and chewy.
❄️ Step 7: Cool and Enjoy
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
