How to Make Pecan Drops
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and chopped pecans.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the pecan drops cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust lightly with powdered sugar, if desired.
