My cookies got a bit too brown. Our oven has been acting wonky of late and I think it's running hot, among other things. I think we'll be oven shopping soon.
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter (softened)
1/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp butter flavoring
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped (preferably with a knife)
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour (about 5 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup coarse sugar or vanilla sugar for garnish
Preheat oven to 325. Line a cookie sheet pan with parchment paper.
Mix butter and dark brown sugar together with an electric hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add in flavorings and salt, mix well. Stir in nuts. Gently fold in flour, kneading lightly with your hands to mix. Do NOT overwork the dough.
Press or roll to 1/4" thickness. Using a 1-1/2" square or round cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place on prepared baking sheet. Reknead dough as gently and as little as possible to bring scraps together and cut additional cookies. Sprinkle with the garnish sugar. Back for 12-15 minutes until cookies are just beginning to brown around the edges. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container. Makes 12-14 cookies.
