Description

I never thought I’d have a fall signature cookie recipe until I tried these! Now they are on the menu every September!


Ingredients

Scale

• 2 1/2 cups bread flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed

• 1 large egg, room temperature

• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup

• 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the bread flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and light brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg and maple syrup.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chopped pecans.

5. Using a cookie scoop, place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart. If the cookies are too puffy, gently press them flat with your fingers before baking.

6. Bake for 10-14 minutes, until the edges are light tan. The centers will still be gooey but will firm up as they cool.

7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
