INGREDIENTS
 

  • 113 g vegan butter or coconut oil, (½ cup)
  • 64 g sugar, (5 tbsp)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 128 g all-purpose flour, (1 cup + 1 tbsp)
  • 55 g pecans, roasted & chopped ((½ cup))
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, beat the butter with the sugar until creamy. Add the vanilla and beat again until the mixture is fluffy and smooth.
  • Incorporate dry ingredients: Add the flour, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and salt to the mixture. Stir until the ingredients are well combined, forming a homogeneous dough. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Chill the dough: Cover the bowl with a plate or lid and freeze the dough for 20 minutes.
  • Shape the cookies: After chilling, shape the dough into cookies. You can either roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter or divide the dough into 13 equal parts and flatten each ball into a disk (5-6 mm).
  • Place the shaped cookies on a baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
  • Preheat and chill: Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F) and while the oven is preheating, chill the cookies in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 17-20 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
  • Cool down: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Store: Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
