Description

Kitchies! Let’s talk about cookies that taste like autumn in every bite. Maple Pecan Cookies are the perfect blend of warm, nutty flavors and sweet maple goodness. 


Ingredients

  •  cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup (113.5 g) unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup (200 g) dark brown sugarpacked (light brown sugar works too)
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • ½ cup (118.29 ml) pure maple syrup
  •  cups (163.5 g) chopped pecans

Cream Cheese Icing (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup (optional).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar with a stand mixer paddle or hand mixer for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the egg, followed by the maple syrup.
  • Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until the flour streaks are almost gone. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula as necessary to get all of the ingredients incorporated well. Stir in the chopped pecans.
  • Using a large cookie scoop, place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 3 inches apart. Bake for 10-14 minutes or until the edges start to turn light tan. The centers will still look a bit gooey, that’s okay! They’ll continue to bake outside of the oven on the baking sheet and will stay soft.
  • If you want to make the cookies nice and round, place a large circular object around them (like a sifter or biscuit cutter) and scoot them around while they’re hot out of the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer them to a cooling rack.

Cream Cheese Icing (optional)

  • Cream together the softened cream cheese & butter until smooth, then mix in the powdered sugar and milk really well.
  • Drizzle icing over cooled cookies or dunk them in it!
