Instructions
- First, add ghee, coconut oil, and coconut sugar to a large mixing bowl or KitchenAid. Once combined, add all remaining ingredients except pecans.
- Once mixed, fold in chopped pecans.
- Add dough to an airtight container and refrigerate at least 20 minutes. Alternatively, cover mixing bowl with foil and place in fridge.
- When it’s time to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Then, use a cookie scoop to scoop dough. Use your hands to roll dough into balls that are 1.5 inches in diameter. Place balls of dough at least 2 inches apart on parchment lined baking sheet.
- Next, bake for 10 minutes total; after 5 minutes, carefully remove cookies from oven and using your fingers, gently press down on each cookie. Cookies should still be 1/2 inch thick. After, place back in oven and cook for the last 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool for 3 minutes on pan before removing to a wire rack to cool.
- To make the glaze, combine ingredients in a small microwave safe dish. Microwave in 20 second increments, stopping to stir between each. Microwave until melted.
- Lastly, drizzle glaze over cooled cookies. Glaze will harden after sitting at room temperature.
Notes
- These cookies do not spread much while baking.
- I highly recommend taking them out of the oven after 5 minutes and gently pressing down on each cookie, as written in the recipe.
- Store cookies covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- The glaze is optional but highly recommended.
