Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt optional, to taste
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup Butter 1 stick, softened, unsalted
- 1/2 cup Sugar brown, light, packed
- 1/4 cup Sugar granulated
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 large Egg
Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup Pecans chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Cream Together the Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
Combine and Shape the Cookies
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten each ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
Bake the Cookies
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store and Enjoy
- Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Pecan Peanut Butter Cookies
- For extra chewy cookies, use a slightly higher ratio of brown sugar to granulated sugar.
- Don't overmix the dough, or the cookies will be tough. Mix until just combined.
- If your peanut butter is very thick, microwave it for 10-15 seconds to soften it before adding it to the batter.
- For a richer flavor, toast the pecans before adding them to the dough. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant.
