Pecan pie cookies are the perfect blend between classic pecan pie and thin and chewy cookies. The base for these cookies is made with brown sugar, so they're super soft and chewy. The toasted pecans add crunch as well as nutty flavor, creating a perfect pecan pie-like cookie. Every bite is reminiscent of pecan pie.
Bake cookies for 8 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. While they're cooling, gently reshape the cookies using a flat cookie spatula or a glass to make them round.
Store cookies in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
