How to Make Pecans Sweet Vanilla

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 large egg white until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup packed light brown sugar, whisking constantly until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 1 cup pecan halves.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Do not overbake.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
