Brown Sugar Pecan Refrigerator Cookies image

These soft cookies were a favorite of my mom's when we were growing up. If she could keep everyone out of the dough the cookies disappeared quickly.

Time 1h30m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Beat the brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until completely incorporated. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl, then stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the pecans mixing just enough to evenly combine.
  • Roll the dough into a log, and wrap in wax paper. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice the dough and arrange the cookies on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, about 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
