Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
  5. Stir in pecans: Stir in chopped pecans.
  6. Shape and bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, place on baking sheets, flatten slightly, and bake for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, toast the pecans before adding to the dough.
  • These cookies keep well in an airtight container for up to a week and freeze beautifully.
