Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • ½ cup butter (softened)*
  • ½ cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup all purpose flour (at least 11.5% protein)
  • 1 pinch salt*
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup pecans roasted (coarsely chopped)**
  • 2-3 ounces chocolate (dark or milk) melted

Instruction

  • 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!
