Brown Sugar and Pecan Cookies for the Fridge

Ingredients 0/8

Step 1

Beat the brown sugar and butter together in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is fully combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring just until you don't see any more flour. Gently fold in the pecans so they’re evenly spread throughout the dough.

Step 2

Shape the dough into a log and wrap it tightly in wax paper. Pop it in the fridge for at least an hour to chill and firm up. When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the chilled dough into cookies and place them on a baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.

Step 3

Bake them in the oven for about 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden color. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for a minute or so before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
