Nutty, chewy, and oh so delicious, these brown butter pecan cookies will become a new holiday favorite! A crisp outside gives way to a chewy inside that is hiding lots of toasted pecans!
– 2 sticks Butter Browned– 1 cup Brown Sugar– 2 teaspoon Vanilla– ½ cup Granulated Sugar– 2 Large Eggs– 1 Egg Yolk– 2 ½ cups All Purpose Flour– ½ teaspoon Baking Powder– 1 ½ cups Pecans Chopped– ½ teaspoon Salt
In a saucepan, melt the butter and gently brown it. Turn the stove to medium heat and swirl the butter in the pan for 5-7 minutes. When the butter turns a brown tint, the butter is done. Cool completely.
Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla to the mixer and mix again.In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.Slowly add the flour to the stand mixer and mix until well combined.
With a cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Leave at least an inch of space between each cookie. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are just slightly browned.
