Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Pecans, chopped finely
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and milk to the creamed butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the chopped pecans evenly throughout the dough.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
Slice the dough into 1-inch wide strips. Gently twist each strip a few times to form a spiral shape and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Cinnamon Pecan Twistcookies with a warm cup of coffee or tea!
