Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Light brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 60 grams Pecans (finely chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter completely. Remove from heat and stir in the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and corn syrup until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, stirring to incorporate.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no lumps remain.
Step 5
Fold in the finely chopped pecans, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6
Using a teaspoon, drop small amounts of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 7 cm (about 3 inches) apart. The cookies will spread significantly while baking.
Step 7
Bake one sheet at a time for 8–10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown with a lacy appearance.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 3–4 minutes, as they will be very soft initially. Then, transfer them carefully to a wire rack to cool completely and crisp up.
Step 9
Repeat the process with the remaining dough, ensuring the baking sheets are fully cooled before adding new batches.
Step 10
Enjoy your delicate pecan lace cookies as they are, or pair them with a drizzle of melted chocolate for an extra indulgent touch!
