  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Shape Cookies: Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

  • Top Cookies: Spoon a generous layer of the pecan mixture onto each cookie.
  • Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and the topping is set.
  • Cool & Serve: Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Optional: sprinkle with sea salt or drizzle with caramel. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
