Ingredients
- 1 cups unsalted butter softened¹
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose (plain) flour
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans or pecan chips
- Additional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place butter in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until creamy.
- Add powdered sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt and beat until creamy and well-combined.
- Gradually add flour and stir until combined.
- Stir in pecan pieces.
- Scoop dough by about 1 ½ Tablespoon portions and roll into a ball. Gently flatten and place on prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 1” apart.
- Transfer to 375F (190C) oven and bake for 12 minutes or until edges are just beginning to turn light golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely on baking sheet. If desired, toss in additional powdered sugar until cookies are completely coated with sugar (alternatively you can sift sugar over cookies).
Notes
- ¹Not too soft, though! The butter shouldn't be melting or melty, which can easily happen if it's left to sit out for longer than 30-60 minutes during these hot summer months.
