Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your butter pecan rum meltaways. Use real butter, not margarine, and make sure your pecans are fresh and chopped finely.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cookies from curdling.
- Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix, as this will toughen the cookies.
- Fold in the chopped pecans and rum extract. Be sure to mix until evenly distributed.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to firm up the dough and make it easier to handle.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven until the edges are just beginning to brown. Do not overbake, as this will dry out the cookies.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
Conclusion:
