Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 70 grams Chopped pecans
- 70 grams Chopped almonds
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and mix well until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chopped pecans and almonds using a spatula to evenly distribute within the dough.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop golf ball-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still be slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, dust the cookies generously with powdered sugar for a beautiful crackle effect.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week. Enjoy the spiced nutty crunch in every bite!
