Directions

Your Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375˚F (190˚C).

  2. In your main mixing bowl, add butter, sugar and mix until smooth.

  3. Add egg and vanilla extract and continue mixing.

  4. Sift in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg alternately with adding the sour cream and mix until smooth.

  5. Add 50g of the chopped pecans into your main mixing bowl and mix with a spatula by hand.

  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough (about the size of a walnut) and place dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared tray.

  7. Bake for 10 minutes. When done baking, transfer cookies to wire rack or heat safe surface to cool. 

  8. In a small saucepan, add butter and turn the heat up to medium high. Stir your butter continually with a wooden spatula for about 5 mins. Your butter will start to froth and turn from yellow to brown. Turn off heat when butter turns brown.

  9. Clean and dry your main mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, milk, cooked brown butter sauce and mix everything together. 

  10. When cookies are completely cooled, it's time to ice them. Brown buttercream frosting dries fast so ice one cookie and then sprinkle chopped pecans for decoration. Enjoy! :-)
