(This <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/butter-pecan-cake\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">butter pecan cake<\/a> is a must-try!) I decided to try it out in cookie form! Many butter pecan cookie recipes tend to be crisp and a little too dry for my liking. For today\u2019s recipe I knew I wanted a soft, thick,\u00a0<em>chewy<\/em> cookie, and this recipe delivers! I know you\u2019re going to love it as much as I do.<\/p>\n<p>These butter pecan cookies are like a cozy hug in cookie form! They\u2019re packed with rich, buttery flavor and crunchy bits of toasted pecans and toffee that make every bite a delight. And the best part? They\u2019re super easy to make! All you need is some butter, brown sugar, flour, vanilla, and of course, pecans. Just mix everything together, roll them into little balls, and pop them in the oven for a few minutes. I toasted my pecans for a little extra flavor, but you can skip this step if you\u2019re short on time! So go ahead, indulge in some butter pecan goodness \u2013 your taste buds will thank you!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-ingredients-needed\">Ingredients Needed<\/h2>\n<p>This is one of my favorite cookie recipes because I usually have most of the ingredients ready to go in my pantry. Each of these ingredients work together to create the most buttery, delicious cookie ever! You\u2019re going to love them. Check out the recipe card below for exact measurments.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Unsalted Butter<\/strong>: Makes the cookies soft and tender!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dark Brown Sugar<\/strong>: Dark brown sugar contains more molasses than light brown sugar, giving it a rich and complex flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar<\/strong>: Just regular granulated sugar is fine!<\/li>\n<li><strong>1 Large Egg + 1 Egg Yolk<\/strong>: Binds the ingredients together. I added an extra yolk so the cookies turn out more rich and tender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract<\/strong>: Deepens the flavor of the butter pecan cookies. Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/pure-vanilla-extract-2oz-good-38-gather-8482\/-\/A-82247489#lnk=sametab\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pure vanilla extract<\/a> if you have it!<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-Purpose Flour<\/strong>: The base of the cookies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch<\/strong>: Acts as a thickener.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking Soda<\/strong> <strong>and Baking Powder<\/strong>: You\u2019ve got to add both so these cookies rise properly and have a tender crumb.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>: Works as a flavor enhancer!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pecan Halves<\/strong>: The star of the show! These give the cookies the best texture and buttery flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heath Toffee Bits<\/strong>: (Optional) I love adding Heath bits because of their added crunch and caramel flavor. You can omit them if you want!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" alt=\"4-photo collage of cookie batter being prepared.\" class=\"wp-image-185344\" title=\"Soft, chewy,\u00a0butter pecan cookies\u00a0made with lightly toasted pecans and\u00a0crunchy toffee bits.

Here\u2019s how you can make them turn out as tasty as possible. I know they\u2019ll be a hit wherever they go! You can\u2019t go wrong with buttery, homemade cookies. They have the best buttery, toasty flavor!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Toast Pecans: <\/strong>Toasting your pecans is optional, but I really recommend it for this butter pecan cookie recipe. It takes less than 5 minutes and enhances the flavor and crispness of the pecans!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toast Before Chopping: <\/strong>Make sure you toast your pecan halves <em>before<\/em> chopping them. This will ensure even toasting (no burnt or under-done pieces this way!) Just make sure you let them cool before chopping them!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool Butter: <\/strong>Let your butter cool for at\u00a0<em>least<\/em> 10 minutes before adding the sugar. If your butter is too hot, it will end up melting your sugar and you\u2019ll have a runny cookie dough that will spread all over your cookie sheet when you go to bake it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adding Toffee: <\/strong>The toffee bits add a nice extra dimension of flavor and texture to these cookies, I can\u2019t enjoy butter pecan cookies without them anymore!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t Overbake:<\/strong> I like to take my butter pecan cookies out of the oven while they\u2019re still a little soft. They\u2019ll continue to cook on the baking sheet for a minute or two. This way, they end up perfectly soft and chewy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" alt=\"Closeup of cookies.\" class=\"wp-image-201883\" title=\"Soft, chewy,\u00a0butter pecan cookies\u00a0made with lightly toasted pecans and\u00a0crunchy toffee bits.

Butter pecan cookies can be frozen and enjoyed later. To freeze them, make sure the cookies are completely cool and place them in a single layer in an airtight container or freezer bag. Also, separate the layers with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking together. They can be stored in the freezer for<strong> up to 3 months<\/strong>. When you\u2019re ready to enjoy them, take the cookies out of the freezer and let them come to room temperature. This can take a few hours, or you can speed up the process by placing them in the fridge for an hour or so.
