Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup toasted pecan pieces
Maple Glaze
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F & line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once the oven is preheated, toast the pecans on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then remove from the oven and set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients together (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt) & set aside.
- In another bowl, mix together melted butter, sugar and brown sugar until combined. Then mix in egg, vanilla and maple syrup until smooth.
- Pour flour mixture into wet mixture and mix until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup toasted pecans and mix to combine.
- Scoop 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoonfuls of cookie batter per cookie into balls, placing them about 2 inches a part on a baking sheet (make sure to leave space between cookies as they will spread). Makes about 18-22 cookies so you will need to bake in batches.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until just browning on the edges. Remove from oven & let sit on pan for a few minutes before moving to cooling rack.
- Once cookies cooled, make the glaze by mixing the melted butter, maple syrup & icing sugar and drizzle over cookies.
