Best Butter Pecan Cookie Recipe

pecan sandies

Thanks for watching/listening to our Cookie/Travel podcast. This butter pecan cookie recipe is great. If you enjoy Pecan Sandies, then you are going to love these cookies. I go a little heavy on the pecans with ¾ cup, and I think you can easily get away with only using a ½ cup of pecans, but don’t adjust the recipe too much, cause it’s pretty perfect, I think. In the video, I say to bake the cookies at for 20 minutes when I REALLY MEAN 15 MINUTES! They come out okay at 20 minutes, but 15 minutes is sooooo much better. The cookies actually look better after 20 minutes, but they are overdone, and taste much better at 15 minutes, before the tops of the cookies start to brown.

Butter Pecan Cookie Ingredients

1 cup all purpose FLOUR
½ cup salted BUTTER
¼ cup SUGAR
¾ cup toasted chopped PECANS
1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
⅛ tsp of SALT

This recipe makes a dozen cookies. Check current prices for Parchment Paper on amazon.

How to Make Butter Pecan Cookies

  • First put your butter out and allow it to soften.
  • Toast up your chopped pecan pieces. I bake the pecans at 350˚F for 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on your pecans! There’s no reason to over toast them, and you don’t want to risk burning expensive pecans! Toast the pecans in advance so that they have time to cool before you fold them into the cookie dough.
  • Once your butter is soft, give it a nice whisk with a…whisk.
  • Then whisk in the sugar, and then whisk in the salt and vanilla extract, as well.
  • Add in the flour, then get a spoon or spatula and mix the flour and sugar/butter mixture together. Mix until the dough begins to stick into small clumpy pieces. It’ll seem pretty dry, but that’s how it should look.
  • Add in the toasted pecan pieces and mix everything together well.
  • Now press the dough together into a ball, and then separate the dough into a dozen even sizes.
  • Press each piece of dough into a ball, then flatten into a wheel and shape into a cookie size that is uniform and not too thin around the edges.
  • Space cookies apart on a cookie pan and bake for 15 minutes at 350˚F.
  • After 15 minutes, remove the cookies from the oven and place onto a cooling rack.

Cookie Tip: do not wait for the cookies to brown on top! The cookies will be colored on the bottom, but still look fairly light on top. If you wait for the tops to brown, the cookies will be too dry, I think. CG actually prefers the cookies baked for 20 minutes, but I think it’s too much. If you try this recipe both ways, then let me know what you think.

Are you trying to avoid butter? Well good luck. Maybe this butter-free pecan sandies recipe can help.

Pretzel Cookies with Bags of Pretzels

pretzel cookies

This week CG and I experimented making pretzel cookies. Bagged pretzels usually have plenty of salt, so there’s no need to add salt to this cookie recipe, in fact, if you’re on a low-salt diet, you’ll probably want to use unsalted butter and unsalted nuts, if you add nuts.

Variations on Pretzel Cookies

I use ground pretzels to make the flour for pretzel cookies, and to make the cookies even more “pretzely”, I also press a decorative pretzel into the top of the cookie before it bakes, but if you don’t feel like grinding pretzels in a blender, you can just use all purpose flour to make the dough, and then press a pretzel into the cookie anyway! It’ll still be a pretzel cookie! And that’s a good idea, too, if you’re sensitive to salt.

We made these cookies using walnuts, peanuts, peanut butter chips, and some with no additives at all. The basic recipe below calls for “½ to 1 cup NUTS” but that’s optional and flexible, so just leave the nuts out or add ½ to 1 cup of whatever you like.

In the video recipe I use an 8×8 dish for baking and you can check the current prices for Pryrex Dishes on Amazon as well as the current price for Parchment Paper.

Ingredients for Basic Pretzel Cookie Recipe

¾ cup BROWN SUGAR
½ cup PRETZEL FLOUR
1 EGG
1 Tbsp BUTTER
½ tsp VANILLA
½ to 1 cup NUTS
PRETZELS topping

pretzel cookies

How to make Pretzel Cookies

  • In a large bowl, add the softened butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.
  • Add in the pretzel flour, which is just ground pretzels, or substitute all purpose flour.
  • Fold in the nuts, if desired.
  • Grease the bottom and sides of an 8” X 8” baking dish, OR LINE THE BOTTOM OF THE BAKING DISH WITH PARCHMENT PAPER. Between the two options, I highly recommend going with the parchment paper. The cookies are chewy, and they’re sticky on the bottom, so parchment paper will make getting them out of the pan much easier.
  • Press the cookie dough into the baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  • If you have any extra, nice looking pretzels, press them into the top of the dough before baking. Just be sure to space them evenly so that your baked dough will be easy to cut into cookie shapes.
  • Bake in an oven preheated to 350˚F for about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and place on a rack to cool.
  • Some cookies are delicious when they’re hot out of the oven, but I think brown sugar cookies taste much better after they have cooled to a caramelly goodness.
  • Once cool, cut the cookies into squares.

Cookie Dough Recipe – Icebox Cookies

cookie dough recipe

Do you buy sleeves of premade cookie dough at the supermarket? You can make a homemade cookie dough recipe to keep in the freezer and then bake cookies whenever the mood strikes. Just slice off four or six or a dozen cookies or whatever you deserve and pop them into the oven for fresh baked cookies in a matter of minutes.

cookie dough recipe

¾ cup SUGAR
½ cup BUTTER
1 EGG
1 tsp VANILLA
¾ cup NUTS
2 cups FLOUR

  • Around 30 minutes prior to making the dough, set out the butter and 1 egg.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream the sugar and the softened butter together. In the video, CG uses an electric mixer, but you can simply do this step by hand if you wish.
  • Mix the vanilla and the egg into the butter/sugar.
  • Add nuts. We use pecans, but walnuts or slivered almonds are good.
  • Incrementally mix in the dry flour until the flour is incorporated into the wet ingredients.
  • Divide the dough into thirds.
  • On a sheet of parchment paper, roll out each portion into a “log” shape about 1”-1½” inches in diameter. Check parchment paper prices on Amazon.
  • Roll the dough up into the parchment paper, twist the ends, and then place in the freezer until ready to bake.

Baking the Cookies

When you’re in the mood for cookies, just remove a roll of dough from the freezer and bake away. The sweet thing about having the dough premixed and rolled up, is that you can bake the entire roll, or simply slice off and bake as many cookies as you’re in the mood to eat.

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F
  • Remove dough from the freezer and slice cookies about ¼” thick.
  • On a baking sheet, arrange the cookies on parchment paper; you can use the parchment paper that the cookie dough was rolled inside! Compare prices for baking sheets on Amazon.
  • Bake cookies for about 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and allow to cool to an edible temperature, then eat away. I like to let the cookies cool completely so that they’re extra crunchy…perfect with coffee.

Keeping some dough rolled up in the freezer is an easy way to have fresh baked cookies with little fuss whenever you like. Give this cookie dough recipe a try, and for another easy cookie idea, try these Chewy Brown Sugar Bar Cookies.

No-Butter Pecan Sandies Cookie Recipe

pecan sandies

Try this no-butter pecan sandies cookie recipe. I substitute safflower oil for the butter in these pecan sandies, and also toast my pecans before chopping the nuts up to add into the cookie dough. Most pecan sandies recipes call for lots of butter, but I find this recipe works very well with just oil.

Ingredients for Pecan Sandies

1 EGG beaten
½ cup SAFFLOWER OIL
2 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
1 cup SUGAR
2 cups ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
1 cup chopped PECANS

pecan sandies

How to Make No-Butter Pecan Sandies

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Lightly toast pecans. This will only take about 5 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully because they will quickly overcook. Once nuts cool, then chop.
  • In a large bowl, whisk 1 egg and then add in the sugar, oil, and vanilla extract and mix well.
  • Fold in the flour and chopped pecans.
  • Using your hands, mold tablespoon sizes of batter into cookie shapes; be sure to make the cookies an even thickness.
  • Place cookies on parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Check current prices for parchment paper on Amazon.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack.

I’ve made these no-butter cookies with canola oil and safflower oil, and I prefer the safflower oil. You can check the current price for safflower oil on Amazon. Sunflower oil is another good low-fat oil that tastes great in baking as well, but it’s pricier.

Plain Cookies for Plain Folks

Crunchy, plain cookies are perfect with a cup of coffee. I love these cookies. They’re not overly sweet, but just sweet enough to pass as a cookie. If you like your cookies to shut up and sit in the corner until you’re ready for them, then this might be the cookie recipe for you.

Plain Cookie Recipe

2½ cups ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
½ cup SUGAR
½ cup OIL (I use safflower, canola, or sunflower oil…or substitute butter)
1 EGG beaten
2 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
¼ tsp SALT
1 cup chopped WALNUTS (very optional…they won’t be plain cookies if you add nuts!)

plain cookies

How to Make Plain Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, whisk 1 egg and then add in the sugar, oil, and vanilla extract and mix well.
  • In another bowl, sift the flour and salt.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together. Add a touch more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  • If adding nuts, chips, or dried fruit, fold that into the dough.
  • Using your hands, mold tablespoon sizes of batter into cookie shapes; be sure to make the cookies an even thickness. Or roll out the batter and cut the dough into cookie shapes.
  • Place cookies on parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until very lightly browned on the top. Need parchment paper? Check current prices for parchment paper on Amazon. The cookies will not color up much before they are finished, so if they are browned well on the bottom, they are likely done. If you wait for the top to color well, they will be overdone. 12-15 minutes baking time is a good estimate for tablespoon-sized cookies.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool completely for the ultimate crunchiness. These cookies are pretty plain, but they have a terrific crunch and go great with a hot beverage.

Chewy Cookie Recipe – Easy Bar Cookies

You won’t believe how easy it is to bake this chewy cookie recipe. I love bar cookies, and this brown sugar cookie recipe is practically foolproof. I’ve made many variations of these brown sugar chews and they’ve all turned out great, because the ingredients are super basic, so it’s hard to go wrong as long as you’re in the baking ballpark.

What you need for this Chewy Cookie Recipe

¾ cup BROWN SUGAR
½ cup ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
1 Tbsp BUTTER
1 EGG
1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
½ tsp SALT
1 cup chopped WALNUTS

chewy cookie recipe

How to make Brown Sugar Chews

  • In a large bowl, add the softened butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, then stir until smooth.
  • Sift in the flour and salt and stir until mixed.
  • Fold in the walnuts.
  • Grease the bottom and sides of an 8” X 8” baking dish, OR LINE THE BOTTOM OF THE BAKING DISH WITH PARCHMENT PAPER. Between the two options, I highly recommend going with the parchment paper. The cookies are chewy, and sticky on the bottom, so parchment paper will make getting them out of the pan much easier. Check current prices for parchment paper on Amazon.
  • Roll the cookie dough into the baking dish and spread it evenly.
  • Bake in an oven preheated to 350˚F for about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and place on a rack to cool.
  • Once cool, cut the cookies into squares.

That’s it! I love these cookies. And it’s a very easy recipe to modify.

Variations on this Chewy Cookie Recipe

  • Instead of ¾ cup brown sugar, use ½ cup brown sugar and ¼ cup Molasses.
  • For less chewy cookies, increase the amount of flour to match the amount of sugar.
  • Reduce the chopped walnuts to ½ cup and add ½ cup dried coconut. Or substitute chopped dates for the walnuts.
  • Substitute 1 tsp of lemon extract for the vanilla extract, and add 1 Tbsp of finely chopped lemon zest.

Salted Caramel Cookie Bar

Here’s one of my favorite variations of this bar cookie recipe. This recipe has more sugar and more butter and more salt, so it’s not a step in a healthier direction, but it’s delicious. I recommend this cookie recipe for folks with better-than-average willpower.

1 cup BROWN SUGAR
½ cup ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
2 Tbsp BUTTER
1 EGG
1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
½ tsp SALT in the batter…plus additional LARGE GRAIN SALT for the topping
1 cup chopped WALNUTS

You make this recipe the same as the recipe above, but as a final step, top the batter with additional large granule salt to taste before placing in the oven to bake.

Oatmeal Cookie Recipe for Easy Cookies

Bake an easy oatmeal cookie recipe using rolled oats. Then add in whatever else you desire to jazz up your cookies. We almost always add raisins, but we took a break from the raisins this time and added butterscotch chips. Why do oatmeal cookies seem more healthy than other cookies? But that can’t be true, because they taste too good.

What You Need for this Oatmeal Cookie Recipe

Makes about 3 dozen cookies…the size of the cookies will determine how many

½ cup softened BUTTER (1 stick)
½ cup SUGAR (white or brown)*
1 EGG beaten
1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
1 cup ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
1 cup 3 minute ROLLED OATS
¼ tsp SALT
¼ tsp BAKING SODA
½ tsp BAKING POWDER
2 tsp CINNAMON
Optional:
½ cup BUTTERSCOTCH
or CHOCOLATE CHIPS
½ cup chopped RAISINS
1 cup chopped NUTS

* For a less sweet oatmeal cookie recipe, you can reduce the amount of sugar by ¼ cup, or reduce the added dried fruit and chocolate chips. They’re great cookies to enjoy with a hot coffee or tea.

Double the Recipe for More Cookies

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 cups 3-minute oats
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3 tsp cinnamon
1 cup raisins or chocolate/butterscotch chips
1 ½ cup chopped nuts

oatmeal cookie recipe

How to Make Oatmeal Drop Cookies

  • Set butter out early to soften.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, whisk 1 egg and then add sugar, butter, and vanilla extract and mix well.
  • In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until no longer dry.
  • Fold whatever else you like into your oatmeal cookie batter; nuts, raisins, chocolate or butterscotch chips, dates, dried fruit, candy. 1 to 2 cups of whatever you desire.
  • Drop the batter by the spoonful onto a lightly greased baking sheet, or use parchment paper. Make cookies whatever size you like, but make them uniform so that they will bake evenly. Need parchment paper? Check current pricing for parchment paper on Amazon.
  • Place cookies in the oven and bake until very lightly browned on the top, they will not color up much before they are finished. If they are browned well on the bottom, they are likely done. If you wait for the top to color well, they will be overdone. About 15 minutes baking time is a good estimate for Tablespoon sized cookies.

Shortbread Cookie Recipe Super Simple

shortbread cookie recipe

Try this easy Shortbread Cookie recipe.  It takes very few ingredients and these cookies make a terrific treat, especially with coffee.  Mama Redbuck likes to make shortbread cookies in a cake tin and then cut them into wedges, but you can also simply roll the dough out into a sheet and cut the cookies after baking, or use a cookie cutter and cut the cookies before baking, but any way you do it the cookies will taste great.

Ingredients for this Shortbread Cookie Recipe

2 cups sifted ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
1 cup softened BUTTER
1 cup POWDERED SUGAR
¼ cup chopped ALMONDS or PECANS (optional)
2 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
¼ tsp ALMOND EXTRACT (optional)

shortbread cookie recipe

How to Make Shortbread Cookies

Remove butter from the fridge so that it can soften and come to room temperature. In a bowl combine the butter, the powdered sugar, the vanilla and almond extract, and then mix well. Gradually add in the sifted flour and continue to mix until the ingredients are well incorporated, then, if desired, mix in chopped almonds or pecans.

Bring the dough together and then roll it out to about ¼ inch thickness.  My mama likes to roll the dough into cake tins and cut cookies into wedges after baking, but you can roll the dough onto a baking sheet and cut into squares after baking, cut shapes with a cookie cutter before baking, or simply form individual cookies by hand, there is no wrong way, and it will all taste the same.  Check here for current prices for Cookie Baking Sheets on Amazon.

Bake on parchment paper or a lightly oiled baking sheet in an oven preheated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes.  The shortbread won’t get a lot of color when baking, so don’t wait until the cookies get too dark.

If you are cutting into cookie shapes after baking, do so right out of the oven, before the cookies cool and firm up, otherwise they will break apart when you cut them.

As soon as the cookies cool they’re ready to eat! If you want to try another tasty Mama Redbuck recipe, then check out her fantastic Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe, which is one of my all-time-favorite pies.

Chocolate Chip Cookies quick and easy recipe

chocolate chip cookies

This quick chocolate chip cookies recipe makes a perfect weekend treat–it’s a super quick and tasty recipe that I have never mucked up–which is saying something.

Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Cookies

½ cup SUGAR
¼ cup BROWN SUGAR
½ cup BUTTER (soften)
2 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
1 EGG
1½ cup ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
½ tsp BAKING SODA
¼ tsp SALT
1 cup CHOCOLATE CHIPS
(or ½ cup chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped nuts)

How to make Chocolate Chip Cookies

Set out butter to soften and egg to come to room temperature.
Combine sugars, butter, vanilla extract, and egg in a bowl and mix well; you can use a mixer if you like, but I never have–just stir with a spoon to a smooth-ish consistency, do it as well as you can and that will likely be good enough (most things in life are like that, I find).
In another bowl, add flour, salt and baking soda (just ½ tsp BAKING SODA, if you add too much the cookies will be bitter, dude). Add chocolate chips and nuts–or if you don’t want nuts, just add chips–but that would be nuts. Mix ingredients well.
Add the sugar/butter combo to the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated. The dough should stick together when pressed.
Arrange spoonfuls of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet–about two inches apart. The recipe makes about 18-22 cookies, I usually get 17 or 18 cookies, cause I like mine kinda big.
Slide cookie sheet into an oven heated at 350 degrees F and let bake 10-12 minutes. When cookies are brown around the edges and lightly golden on top, they’re finito. Cool on cooling rack or eat them hot out of the oven with a glass of milk or a White Russian, depending on how your day is going.
Give this easy chocolate chip cookies recipe a try and let me know what you think, and bon appetit!
