Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the chopped pecans evenly.
  • Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies a few inches apart.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Toasting the pecans enhances their nutty flavor.Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.Slightly underbake for a softer, chewier texture.A maple glaze can be added for extra sweetness.
