Servings: 20 cookies
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 c white or regular whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅓ c plant-based or unsalted butter
- ½ c turbinado or brown sugar
- ⅓ c maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp maple extract
- ¾ c pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Mix together whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. In a large stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar on medium speed. Mix in maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract and maple extract. Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Spoon a generous 1 tablespoon of dough onto the cookie sheet. Repeat until all of the dough is used, spacing the cookies about 1 inch apart. You can leave the dough in balls or flatten slightly with your palm. You will end up with about 20 cookies.
- Bake the cookies for 11 to 13 minutes, or until lightly golden on the top and bottom. Remove from the oven and allow to cool about 1 minute on the baking sheet before transferring to parchment paper. This recipe yields about 20 cookies 2" to 2½" in diameter.
