Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Nuts & Seeds

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup finely ground pecans (from 2/3 cup pecans)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, salt, nutmeg, and cloves; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and brown sugar together on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla, and mix to combine. Add pecans. Reduce mixer speed to low and add flour mixture; mix until just combined.
  • Turn dough out onto work surface and form into two flat squares; wrap with plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with racks set in the upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Place a nonstick baking mat on work surface. Place one square chilled dough on baking mat; top with a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll out dough between baking mat and plastic wrap until it is 3/8-inch-thick. Transfer to freezer to chill until firm, about 30 minutes. Repeat process with remaining dough.
  • Using a 2 1/4-inch square cutter, cut out dough and transfer to prepared baking sheets. Carefully prick each cookie with a skewer, gently pushing through the dough until it reaches the baking sheet.
  • Transfer baking sheets to oven and bake, about 10 minutes. Halfway through baking, repeat pricking process and rotate baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back. Cookies should be very pale and not take on too much color. Transfer cookies to rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps the cookies to hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough. This will help to ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. The cookies will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Brown sugar pecan refrigerator cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to holiday parties. With their chewy texture, buttery flavor, and nutty crunch, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
