- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups coarsely chopped pecans (reserve ½ cup)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a stand blender with the paddle attachment or a handheld electric blender on medium speed, cream the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, approximately 2-5 minutes.
- Reduce the speed to low and add the flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until incorporated.
- Reduce the speed to stir and add the chopped pecans, reserving about 1/2 cup.
- Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop for equal measurements, roll the dough into balls and then roll them through the reserved chopped pecans.
- Place them on the prepared baking sheet with a little space between them for warm air to flow. Press the balls fairly flat using the flat bottom of a glass or a glass Pyrex measuring cup.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to fully cool.
Pro Tips and Notes:
- Soften the butter to room temperature.
- Use high-quality butter like Land O’Lakes for consistent results.
- Measure the flour correctly to ensure the right texture.
- For best results, use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to promote even baking and reduce sticking.
- Test the first batch as a trial run to adjust spreading and baking time. Refrigerate the dough if needed.
- Bake one sheet of cookies at a time for optimum results. A warm cookie sheet can cause cookies to spread too fast.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
