30 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 c Butter unsalted and melted (cooled to warm)
- 1/2 c Granulated sugar
- 1 c Brown sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2.5 c All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 c Pecans unsalted, roughly chopped (toasted preferred)
- 1/2 c Toffee bits optional
Instructions
- First start by creaming the butter and sugars. In a bowl combine the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until they become light and fluffy.
- Next add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir everything together until it becomes smooth and well-blended.
- Now it's time to combine the ingredients. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, cinnamon powder, cornstarch, baking soda and baking powder until they are just combined.
- Once that's done you can add some pecans and optional toffee bits to the dough. Mix them in evenly for that flavor.
- Before shaping the cookies it's best to chill the dough, for 30 to 45 minutes, in the refrigerator. This will make it easier to handle.
- After chilling scoop portions of dough. Roll them into balls. Place these on a cookie tray lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Then bake these cookies for approximately 11 to 14 minutes or until they turn golden brown with firm edges.
- Finally allow your Butter Pecan Cookies some time to cool before indulging in their scrumptiousness! Enjoy!
