How to Make Orange Pecan Gem Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two large baking sheets.

- Beat at low speed with an electric mixer until all ingredients are just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Press a pecan half into the center of each cookie.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
