Butter Pecan Cookies

December 26, 2011 By Delia

Butter pecan cookies are delicious treats that you can have as snacks or desserts. You may even add chocolate chips if desired. For this recipe we used light brown sugar to attain a light color, if you want it darker, you may use dark brown sugar.

 

Makes 12-15 pieces

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups butter, softened

1 cup light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped pecans

 

Preheat the oven at 375F and slightly grease 2 baking sheets with melted butter.

Place the butter in a bowl and cream it using an electric beater or mixer. Once it is soft, add the sugar and continue to beat it until it is light and fluffy. Fold in the beaten egg.

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add it to the butter mixture. Mix well until it becomes smooth. Fold in the chopped pecans.

Place a spoonful of batter onto the baking sheet. Repeat this with the remaining batter. Bake it in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until it is lightly browned.

When life hands you pecans…

Pecans

My very awesome stepdad sent us a huge bag of chopped pecans. While we’re actually quite happy to just munch on the creamily delicious nuts directly, the bag is so large- and our fear of the thought of rancid pecans so much- that we’ve been tossing them into nearly everything: salads, stir-fries, fudge brownies (mmm).

As I transferred yet another two cups of nuts to our nut jar tonight, though, I got to thinking: what about pecan butter?

It was a great idea. Into the mini food-processor (you can probably use a blender, too) went a cup of pecans. I gave it a quick whir, then drizzled in a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil while the machine ran. When it was nice and buttery, I added about two pinches of fleur de sel, gave it a couple more pulses, and transferred the delicious butter to an empty (clean!) peanut butter container.

My husband and I have been eating small teaspoons of it- but we’re saving some to have with toast for breakfast. If you haven’t tried pecan nut butter, you must. It’s absolutely divine.
