Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 80 milliliters Pure maple syrup
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Pecans, chopped and toasted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized skillet, toast the chopped pecans over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until they're fragrant. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the toasted pecans using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
