Why I Love This Recipe:

1. Buttery and Nutty: The combination of butter and toasted pecans creates a flavor profile that’s rich and indulgent, but not overwhelmingly sweet. The crunch of the pecans adds texture and depth to every bite.
2. Simple and Satisfying: These cookies come together with a few basic ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. They’re incredibly easy to make and don’t require any fancy techniques or equipment.
3. Perfect for Sharing: Butter Pecan Cookies are perfect for sharing with family and friends. Whether you’re baking for a holiday gathering, a potluck, or just a casual afternoon, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
4. Versatile: While the recipe is great as is, it’s also easy to customize. You can add chocolate chips for an extra indulgence, or sprinkle a little sea salt on top for a sweet-salty combination.
5. Great Texture: The cookies are soft and chewy in the center with slightly crisp edges. The toasted pecans lend a delightful crunch without overwhelming the delicate texture of the cookie dough.
6. Perfect for Every Season: While pecans make these cookies feel a little bit like fall or winter, the buttery flavor and nutty crunch make them an ideal treat year-round. Whether it’s a cozy holiday bake or a springtime snack, these cookies are always a good idea.

How To Make Butter Pecan Cookies:

• Make sure to preheat your oven to 350º and cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Next, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and creamy.
• Then add the eggs, vanilla extract and beat again for another 2 minutes. Immediately add the flour, baking soda, salt and mix until well blended.
• When finished, place the balls, using a medium cookie spoon, on the prepared baking sheets and add half a pecan on top of each cookie. Bake until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Finally, cool the cookies on a wire rack.
