Delicious little butter cookies with pecans and brown sugar. Scroll down to see more butter cookie recipes.

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Preparation:

In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter, sugars, and vanilla together until light and fluffy. Beat in flour a little at a time, then stir in pecans.

Taking about 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie, shape into a roll about 2" long, as even as possible in shape. Place on baking sheets about 2-inches apart, and bake in a preheated 300 degree oven for about 30 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned on bottoms.

Cool completely and drizzle with chocolate glaze, if desired.

Wonderful pecan cookiesNovember 11, 2007By da_30303
"This recipe makes just wonderful tender cookies. I am making them for my son's wedding reception. I am dipping half of the cookie in melted chocolate. The kids said they were ""fabulous!!"". The cookie is so tender that they broke in half when I dipped them, so I froze them, then dipped and they did just great! My only problem was keeping the kids out of them while I was cooking!"
