Hey Y'all! These cookies are in my top five of absolute favorite cookies. The outsides are crispy and the center is chewy, it's honestly one of the best cookies ever! My grandma has been making these since I was born and then who knows how much longer, I do know the note card is getting faded. She would make these for Christmas and fill up this giant clear gallon container and I would sneak into the kitchen to always grab one before everyone arrived.
I like to use my stand mixer for these because it's less arm work and fun to watch everything mix together. The above picture is the consistency you want, thick but movable. You can substitute a different nut if you like or even roast your pecans before adding for a different flavor.
This recipe yields 50 cookies, I used a medium cookie scoop but you can even just use a tablespoon. My grandma uses the tried and true eyeball method, where she just grabs a section and can tell by the feel...I hope to get that confident one day. I have a cookie sheet that can hold 30 cookies which has really cut down on how many times I am switching out pans. I recommend using parchment paper because it makes clean up so much easier!
Bake these cookies at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes depending on your oven, I have to do 18 minutes with mine. The bottoms should be a golden brown as well as the edges, you don't want a light looking cookie. Serve with your favorite drink or crumble some up with some ice cream and enjoy! Check out the recipe below.
