Maple Pecan Delight Cookies

Ingredients

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until well combined and set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3–4 minutes.

4. Add Wet Ingredients
Add 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Beat well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.

6. Fold in Pecans
Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Shape Cookies
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each portion about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake Cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers should remain slightly soft for a chewy texture.

9. Cool and Enjoy
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
