Pecan Cookies
Pecan cookies are my all-time favorite! They're so buttery and crispy, and the pecans add the perfect amount of nutty flavor. I always make a big batch because they disappear so quickly.
One of my favorite things about pecan cookies is that they can be dressed up or down. For a more sophisticated cookie, try dipping them in chocolate or adding a drizzle of icing. Or keep things casual by leaving them plain. Either way, they're guaranteed to be delicious!
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cooking Time: 10 Minutes
Ingredients for 30 cookies:
All-Purpose Flour - 200g
Egg - 1
Superfine Sugar - 160g
Pecan Nuts - 100g (coarsely chopped)
Chocolate Chips - 100g
Butter - 80g (melted and cooled)
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Take your egg and beat it lightly
Sift your flour and make a little vulcano in the center where you will add the beaten egg, the sugar, the pecans and the chocolate chips. Mix a little and then start to mix in the melted butter little by little (make sure the butter is not hot).
Mix well until all the ingredients have combined.
Now we can start making our cookies! Take a little bit of the dough and shape it into a small ball, then place it onto the parchment paper and flatten it a little bit (not completely). Do this with all of the dough.
Once you are done bake for 10 minutes (if you made really big balls you might have to bake for a couple more minutes so check on your cookies after the 10 minute mark).
Once ready remove them from the oven and leave to cool before serving.
Pecan cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed all year round. Although they are often associated with the holidays, pecan cookies can be enjoyed any time of year. Here are some tips for how to eat and store pecan cookies:
When it comes to enjoying a pecan cookie, the sky is the limit! Whether you like your cookies soft or crunchy, there is a way to enjoy them. For soft cookies, try heating them up for a few seconds in the microwave. This will help to release all of the flavors and make them even more enjoyable. If you prefer your cookies on the crunchy side, then simply leave them out at room temperature until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
Once you have enjoyed your fill of pecan cookies, it is important to properly store any leftovers. Cookies made with fresh pecans can last up to two weeks when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want your cookies to last even longer, you can freeze them for up to six months. When ready to enjoy frozen pecan cookies, simply thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before eating.
