Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until smooth and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix until glossy.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
  5. Combine the flour mixture with the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar on each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are soft.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

If your kitchen is warm, chill the dough for 10 to 15 minutes before scooping to reduce spreading. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
