My coworker Amanda makes these Butterscotch Pecan Cookies for our work Christmas dessert extravaganza and our work holiday party each year. They’ve been dubbed as “Christmas Crack Cookies” as they are so addictive and do not last long when she brings them. Naturally, I had to ask her for the recipe and I am glad she shared it with me. Even my husband says that they taste like Christmas each time he tries them. This recipe makes two dozen, but no one is counting when they go as fast as they do! Good luck restraining yourself! Haha!
Butterscotch Pecan Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 sticks of salted butter
- 1.5 cups of flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp of vanilla paste
- 1 bag of butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup of pecans, finely chopped
Prepare
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Melt the butter in a glass measuring cup in the microwave.
- Add all the other ingredients and mix and stand mixer.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the cookie dough to golf ball size and place 12 per sheet, 3 in 4 rows.
- Bake at 350 for 14 minutes, rotating the sheets on oven racks halfway through, 7 minutes, to ensure even baking.
- Allow cookies to cool and then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
