Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven Begin by heating your oven to 350F (175C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Make the Cookie Base In a medium bowl, cream the softened butter with both granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. Integrate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just incorporated.
- Scoop the Cookies Using a tablespoon, scoop and drop balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring at least 2 inches between each to allow room for spreading.
- Prepare Pecan Topping In a larger bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Mix in the chopped pecans to complete the topping.
- Add Topping and Bake Spoon a small portion of the pecan topping over each cookie dough ball, making sure each is generously covered. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges.
- Cool the Cookies After baking, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack for further cooling.
