Time 1h

Yield About 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. With the mixer running on low speed, add the maple syrup in a slow, steady stream and mix to combine.
  • Scrape the bowl well, then add the egg and mix on medium speed until the mixture is well combined. Beat in the vanilla.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and fine salt to the mixer and pulse until it starts to combine, then scrape the bowl well and mix on low speed until uniformly combined. Add the pecans and mix until evenly incorporated.
  • Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon-size rounds on the prepared baking sheets, staggering the rows and leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between each cookie to allow room to spread. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on the surface of each cookie. Transfer to the oven and bake until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool before serving.

I've tried many maple pecan cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are always chewy and flavorful, and the maple flavor is perfect.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I made these cookies for my friends and they raved about them! They said they were the best cookies they'd ever had.

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the maple flavor was barely there.

I love these cookies! They're so chewy and flavorful. I always have to hide them from my family or they'll eat them all in one sitting.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies came out flat and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.
