Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- In the mixing bowl with the flat beaters beat the butter on medium speed until soft and creamy, approximately 2 minutes. Add the brown sugar and beat 1-2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat on low speed until mixed. Fold in the pecans. If you find the dough too soft refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
- Drop by spoonfuls on the prepared cookie sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until when lightly touched in the centre no indentation remains. Cool on cookie sheet 5 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with melted chocolate if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- To roast the nuts, place them in a single layer on an ungreased baking / cookie sheet. Bake in a pre-heated 350F (180C) oven for 5 to 8 minutes or until they are golden brown, remove immediately from the baking sheet to a clean bowl to cool. Leaving them on the baking sheet could cause them to bake even more or burn.
- Store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will last up to 3-4 days at room temperature. Refrigerating sugar cookies will dry them out and make them hard.
- You can either freeze the cookie dough, wrap it well in plastic wrap then place in a freezer safe container or bag. The dough will last up to 3 months. To make it even easier you can freeze the cookie dough balls.
- Place the balls on a cookie and freeze until firm, then move the frozen cookie balls into a container or bag. They will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. They can be baked from frozen, just add a couple of minutes longer to the baking time.
- Freeze the completely cooled cookies in a freezer safe container. They will keep for up to 3-6 months in the freezer.
