Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Chopped pecans, toasted
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the toasted chopped pecans to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the chilled dough and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Roll each dough ball generously in the powdered sugar, ensuring it's fully coated.
Place the powdered-sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies have a crackled appearance.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Butter Pecan Crinkles with your favorite warm beverage and enjoy!
