Ingredients
- 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 1 stick unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
I like to eat these cookies the same day I bake them. They taste much better when they are freshly baked(not too hard). Here is my recipe:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
In a bowl mix flour with salt and set aside.
-
In another bowl, cream butter and sugar using an electric mixer or a spoon.
-
Beat in cinnamon and gradually pour the flour mixture. Mix until combined.
-
Fold in pecans. The dough obtained should be really soft.
-
Use an ice cream scoop to shape the dough or simply shape dough with hands into walnut sized balls.
-
Put on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper; place them 2 inches apart.
-
Lightly flatten each ball with your hands. If the dough is too sticky put your hands in cold water from time to time.
-
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until cookies are golden brown.
-
Let cool then serve.
