Ingredients

• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Brown sugar
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 80 ml Pure maple syrup
• 1 large Egg
• 5 ml Vanilla extract
• 260 grams All-purpose flour
• 5 grams Baking soda
• 2 grams Salt
• 120 grams Pecans (toasted and chopped)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until just liquified. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the toasted and chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers appear slightly underbaked.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these delightful Maple Pecan Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee.
