These insanely delicious browned butter cookies are heavily loaded with buttered pecans and have a rich flavour and chewy texture. Love the combo of salty and sweet? They're rolled in a mixture of sugar and salt before baking, which gives them over-the-top flavour. If you don't have pecans you can substitute equal amounts of walnuts or hazelnuts or even pistachios. You can also add a mix of butterscotch and chocolate chips for an even more indulgent treat.

CookieCoating
  • 180 g Pecan, roughly chopped
  • 250 g Kerrygold butter
  • 300 g Plain flour
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 100 g Coconut sugar (or regular brown sugar)
  • 100 g Homemade vanilla sugar (or white granulated sugar)
  • 2 Medium eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp Vanilla paste (I use Dr. Oetker)
  • 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 70 g White granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Fine sea salt
  1. Toast the chopped pecans and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant and browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Cook the remaining butter in a light-coloured pan over medium-high heat. Once melted, the butter will begin to foam and sizzle around the edges. Keep stirring. In about 6-8 minutes, the butter will turn toasty brown and smell nutty and buttery. Pour into a bowl or pan to stop the butter from cooking further. Set aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
  4. Add coconut sugar and vanilla sugar to the cooled browned butter. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar, increase mixer speed to medium-high, and beat until mixture lightens and begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.
  5. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add flour mixture and beat just to combine. Mix in buttered pecans with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
  6. Cover the bowl, and chill for about 4 hours or overnight. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line two baking trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  7. Mix 70 grams sugar and 1 teaspoon sea salt in a bowl. Use a spoon to scoop 2" balls (about 55 g each) of dough into the sugar/salt mixture, rolling to coat. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2" between them on all sides.
  8. Bake the cookies in the middle of the hot oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and firm but centers are still soft. Let cool on baking sheets 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough. Store cookies, well wrapped in an airtight container, at room temperature for up to a week.

Se ven esponjosas y lindas, si tienen una textura tierna me gustan aún más. Hornear galletas es algo que ahora apetece mucho.

Those look lovely and crunchy, minus the nasty salt in it, of course. Bet the whole house smelled lovely while you were baking them.
