Pecan Sandies Cookies
Get ready to bake! These cookies are a delightful blend of buttery goodness and crunchy pecans. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Extra powdered sugar, for rolling
Instructions:
- First, preheat your oven to 350°F (or around 175°C for our non-Fahrenheit friends). Trust me, you want those cookies to bake perfectly!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until it’s light and fluffy. It should be smoother than a jazz radio host!
- Mix in the vanilla extract. For a split second, just savor that aroma. It’s heavenly!
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add it to the butter mixture. But don’t rush, we’re not racing here!
- Fold in the finely chopped pecans. Make sure to channel your inner bakery chef and mix it well!
- Now, grab a tablespoon and scoop out the dough, rolling it into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. You don’t want them to hold hands while baking!
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden. Your kitchen should start to smell like a cozy bakery by now!
- Once ready, let them cool for a minute before rolling them in the extra powdered sugar. Give them a dusting like you’re a cookie fairy!
And voilà! There you have it—delicious Pecan Sandies Cookies ready to make your day a whole lot sweeter. Now, grab your favorite beverage, settle down, and enjoy your freshly baked treats. Don’t forget to share… or not! Who can blame you for wanting them all to yourself?
