Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 80 ml Pure maple syrup
- 1 large Egg
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 260 grams All-purpose flour
- 5 grams Baking soda
- 2 grams Salt
- 120 grams Pecans (toasted and chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until just liquified. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the toasted and chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers appear slightly underbaked.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these delightful Maple Pecan Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee.
