Melt In Your Mouth Cookies
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 8 mins
- Total Time: 18 mins
- Yield: 4-5 dozen 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup pecan meal
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚; line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine the softened butter with the brown sugar and beat on low until combined. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat on medium speed until the mixture has lightened in color and is fluffy. Turn the mixer back to low and add the flour, baking powder and salt. Once the mixture is well combined, add pecan meal and beat until just mixed.
- Place 2 teaspoon-size scoops of the dough onto the sheet, spaced 2 inches apart (roughly 12 per tray). Bake for 7 minutes, until the cookies are a golden and have spread out. Remove from oven, let cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling. Store in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
• Older cookie sheets work better, as the newer, insulated ones don’t crisp the cookies as well.
• I’ve chosen to bake with parchment paper, but these cookies can also be baked on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Grind unroasted, unsalted pecans into meal if desired.
