Time 1h

Yield About 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. With the mixer running on low speed, add the maple syrup in a slow, steady stream and mix to combine.
  • Scrape the bowl well, then add the egg and mix on medium speed until the mixture is well combined. Beat in the vanilla.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and fine salt to the mixer and pulse until it starts to combine, then scrape the bowl well and mix on low speed until uniformly combined. Add the pecans and mix until evenly incorporated.
  • Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon-size rounds on the prepared baking sheets, staggering the rows and leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between each cookie to allow room to spread. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on the surface of each cookie. Transfer to the oven and bake until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 stick butter, unsalted
3/4 c white sugar
1/2 c dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp maple extract
1/4 c pure maple syrup
2/3 c pecans, chopped
2 1/2 c all purpose flour

Steps:

  • 2. Add the Maple Syrup and mix well.
  • 3. Stir in Pecans and Flour until well mixed.
  • 4. Spoon heaping teaspoonfuls of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet, 12 to a sheet.

  • 6. Cool 2-3 minutes before transferring to a rack, using a spatula. Cool completely before storing airtight. Do not stack while cooling.
  • 7. Makes 4 1/2 - 5 dozen satisfying cookies.

Tips:

  • Measure ingredients accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure dry ingredients for the most precise results.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your cookies have the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and spread less in the oven.
  • Preheat the oven: A properly preheated oven will ensure that the cookies bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and texture.
