Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In another bowl, using the paddle attachment on your mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until pale.
Into the mixer bowl, add the vanilla and almond extract and beat until smooth. Add the pecans and beat until blended.
With the mixer going at low speed, gradually add the flour mixture until a stiff dough is formed.
Using a cookie scoop, shape dough into 1” balls. Place the dough balls on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from the oven, and while hot, brush them with the pure maple syrup.
Remove cookies from the baking sheet and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
