How To Make Butter Pecan Cookies:
- Make sure to preheat your oven to 350º and cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Next, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Then add the eggs, vanilla extract and beat again for another 2 minutes. Immediately add the flour, baking soda, salt and mix until well blended.
- When finished, place the balls, using a medium cookie spoon, on the prepared baking sheets and add half a pecan on top of each cookie. Bake until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Finally, cool the cookies on a wire rack.
