This has got to be one of the easiest cookie recipes out there and one that I had not previously tried. Once they cooled completely and the powdered sugar was added to the tops, I transferred them to a Ziploc bag and let them hang out on the counter. I actually liked them best about two days after.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
- powdered sugar for dusting
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Microwave butter on high for 40 -45 seconds or until butter is melted. Add sugars, egg, flour and vanilla. Mix well. Add pecans; mix well. Using a small scoop, drop dough 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are slightly brown. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
