How to Make Pecan Weet Bix Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup of packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of crushed Weet-Bix cereal, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup of pecan halves.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Press a pecan half into the center of each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
