Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl until combined.
Cream the softened butter and dark brown sugar in a large bowl using a mixer until light and fluffy.
Stir in the egg and the maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and fragrant.
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Gently stir in the chopped pecans.
Scoop rounded portions onto your baking sheet, leaving three inches of space between them.
Bake for 10 to 14 minutes until the edges are light tan.
Use a round cutter to nudge the edges if you desire perfect circles while hot.
Allow the cookies to rest on the tray for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure your butter is at true room temperature for the best texture. If you are in a rush, you can gently warm the butter using a microwave on low power, but be careful not to melt it. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
