Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (170 grams) pecans (chopped)
- ½ cup (110 grams) brown sugar (packed)
- 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml) light corn syrup
- ¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter
- 2 ¼ cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Dough Preparation: Cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Blend in egg and vanilla extract thoroughly, creating a smooth, homogeneous mixture that provides a rich flavor foundation.
- Dry Ingredient Integration: Sift flour, baking powder, and salt directly into the wet ingredients. Fold gently until a cohesive dough forms, avoiding excessive mixing to maintain the cookie’s tender texture.
- Shaping and Prepping: Divide dough into twelve uniform portions, rolling each into a smooth ball. Flatten each ball into a thick disc, creating a subtle indentation to cradle the upcoming pecan topping. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet with adequate spacing.
- Baking Process: Position the cookie sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 10-12 minutes, monitoring for delicate golden edges and a set center. The cookies should emerge with a perfectly balanced crisp exterior and tender interior.
- Cooling and Finishing: Transfer baked cookies to a wire rack, allowing complete cooling. This crucial resting period ensures structural integrity and prepares the base for the decadent pecan pie topping, creating the signature Crumbl cookie experience.
Notes
- Butter Temperature Check: Ensure butter is precisely softened but not melted, which guarantees the ideal creamy, whipped base for sugar cookies.
- Mixing Mastery: Avoid overmixing dough to prevent tough, dense cookies; mix just until ingredients combine for tender, delicate texture.
- Uniform Shaping Technique: Use a cookie scoop or consistent hand-rolling to create evenly sized cookies that bake uniformly and look professionally crafted.
- Cooling Crucial Step: Allow cookies to cool completely before adding pecan topping, preventing soggy bottoms and maintaining crisp cookie foundation.
