Butter Pecan Cookies
If you’re like me, just the thought of butter pecan cookies makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Let’s be honest, these cookies basically hug you from the inside out. Now, grab those aprons and let’s get baking!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups pecans, chopped
Instructions
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s 177°C for the non-Fahrenheit folks out there). This step is key, so don’t skip it unless you want sad, raw cookies!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. You want this mixture to be light and fluffy – think of it as giving your butter a spa day! A few minutes of mixing will do the trick.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated. Your batter is already starting to look like a party, isn’t it?
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Now, gradually combine these dry ingredients with the wet mixture. Mix until just combined; we don’t want tough cookies, folks!
- Finally, fold in the chopped pecans. Make sure they’re evenly distributed; we want a pecan in every bite! Because who wouldn’t want that?
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Give them some space; remember, cookies like to spread out and mingle while baking!
- Bake in your preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The aroma will be so divine, you might want to pull a chair up to the oven and enjoy the scent like fine wine.
- Once baked, let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Patience, my friend; they’ll be worth the wait!
And there you have it – the most scrumptious butter pecan cookies that will have you singing in joy! Perfect for sharing (or not) and guaranteed to bring smiles all around. Now, get to baking and remember to save a couple of cookies for yourself – you deserve it!
