These Butter Pecan Cookies live up to their name. They are buttery and chock full of pecans. They are crisp, sweet, and are the perfect sweet bite after supper.
These are one of my favorite cookies ever. I made them for the first time as a newlywed almost 13 years ago when this recipe came in my little Martha Stewart Everyday Food magazine. I’ve made them countless times since.
When I perfected my shortbread cookie dough early this month I knew that adding pecans to it would change it into the special sweet known as Butter Pecan Cookies. My husband has always loved these too. He’s not a huge sweets guy but he has a special place in his heart for nut cookies.
Butter Pecan Cookies – Low Carb, Grain/Sugar/Egg Free, THM S
Ingredients:
1 stick cold salted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup almond flour
1/3 cup coconut flour
2/3 cup Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend), divided
2 tsp gelatin
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup pecans
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the butter, almond flour, coconut flour, 1/3 cup of the sweetener, gelatin, and vanilla in a food processor. Pulse until wet crumbs form. Add the pecans. Pulse until they are chopped.
Divide the dough into 16 pieces. Put the remaining 1/3 cup sweetener in a shallow bowl. Roll each piece of dough into a ball. Put in the sweetener and press it into a disc. Flip it over and press again so both sides are dusted with sweetener. Put on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat.
Bake for 17-19 minutes or until the edges are golden.
