Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until fully incorporated. Gradually stir in flour until combined—be careful not to overmix.
- Scoop about a tablespoon of dough into each muffin cup. Press down gently in the center to create an indentation.
- In another bowl, combine chopped pecans with maple syrup and a pinch of salt (if using). Spoon this mixture into each cookie cup until nearly full.
- Bake for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. The centers should remain slightly soft.
- Allow cooling in the muffin tin for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
