Old Fashion Butter Pecan Cookie Recipe

An oldie, but a goodie. Old fashion recipes never disappoint! I made them to take to my pawpaw- he makes sure we always get our pecans, so I thought he could use a treat too.💞

YOU NEED:

1 C melted butter, allow to cool

1/2 C sugar

1 C brown sugar

2 eggs

3 caps of vanilla extract

2 1/2 C AP flour

1 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 C pecans, chopped

RECIPE:

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar.

2. Add eggs, vanilla extract and mix until smooth.

3. Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and mix until just combined.

4. Fold in pecans until evenly distributed.

5. Chill dough for 30-45 minutes *this is important to keep them from spreading!

6. Scoop out 1 inch balls of the dough.

7. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

8. Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes.

Enjoy!

Note: The dough could seem a bit crumbly once it’s chilled, but the dough will come together when rolling into balls!
