Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Chopped pecans, toasted
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Fold in the toasted chopped pecans to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.

Step 7

Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 8

Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the chilled dough and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 9

Roll each dough ball generously in the powdered sugar, ensuring it's fully coated.

Step 10

Place the powdered-sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 11

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies have a crackled appearance.

Step 12

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve the Butter Pecan Crinkles with your favorite warm beverage and enjoy!
