Description
Savor the rich flavor of brown butter pecan cookies with this easy recipe. Perfect for any occasion, these treats promise delightful bites.
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Flaky sea salt
Instructions
Brown the butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring frequently. Keep an eye on it as it turns a beautiful amber color and begins to smell nutty—this won’t take long! Once it’s browned, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Mix the sugars: In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour in the browned butter, mixing until the sugars are thoroughly combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla: Beat in the egg and egg yolk, along with the vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the pecans: Gently fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing.
Chill the dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack.
Notes
