Brown Sugar Cookies wtih Maple & Pecan

In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. Set aside.

In a large bowl cream the butter and sugars until combined and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and maple extract and beat for 3-4 more minutes, until the mixture is very light and fluffy.

Add in the dry ingredients and mix just until combined, and then stir in the pecans. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat liner.

Scoop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets by rounded teaspoonfuls and flatten slightly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until lightly browned on the edges. Cool on a wire rack.
