Butter Pecan cookies

Not what I expected but pretty excellent.  I did not make them pretty but if that's what you wanted... chop your fold-in pecans very finely, then make the dough into even balls, press down and put one pecan on top.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup salted butter melted

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon butter extract
  • pinch or two of salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions



  • In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, (stand mixer would work find) whisk together the butter and brown sugar until smooth.
  • Add the egg, vanilla, and butter extract, whisk until combined and smooth.
