Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons milk

Instruction

  • To make the cookies, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  • Slowly add to the butter mixture and mix on low until just combined. Stir in the pecans.
  • Drop balls of cookie dough on a parchment lined cookie sheet 1 inch apart (they don't spread much at all) and bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
  • Cool on wire racks.
  • To make the glaze, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat until browned, whisking constantly, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat. Whisk in the  powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
  • Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the cookies.
