Let’s begin!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp Nature’s Flavors Organic Bourbon Flavor Powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 large egg, at room temperature
3/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped
Sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, bourbon flavor powder, baking soda and salt, then set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add egg and mix one minute longer on medium speed.
Add flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, beating after each addition, until well incorporated.
Fold in pecans until evenly distributed.
Divide dough into two portions and shape into a cylinder shape about 2 inches or more in diameter, using the plastic wrap.
After cookie dough portions are wrapped up, place in refrigerator to chill at least 30-40 minutes.
This is an important step to get the texture needed when baking.
Preheat oven to 350℉ / 176℃ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove chilled dough, unwrap and slice into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Place each slice at least 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes, or just when they begin to brown around bottom edges.
Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle a small amount of sea salt on each hot cookie. Slide parchment paper off onto a cooling rack to continue to cool and start on next batch.
These would make a delicious gift for friends, family or co-workers, or for SANTA!
Makes 2 dozen cookies.
Enjoy!
