Easy Crunchy Pecan Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon pecan oil, optional
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.13 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup finely chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Incorporate eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well combined. Blend in vanilla extract and pecan oil until the mixture is homogenous.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 additions, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans. Use a cookie scoop to place dough portions 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet, allowing room for spreading.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking until the edges are golden brown, approximately 5 minutes longer. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
