Pecan Cookies

Add the butter to a large bowl, then add the brown sugar and mix well until combined.

Add the maple syrup or honey and mix until the ingredients are well blended.

Crack in the egg and beat with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes creamy.

Sift the flour and baking powder over the mixture.

Mix with a spatula until a smooth dough forms.

Place the dough on parchment paper and shape it into a log.

Wrap the dough tightly in the parchment paper and roll it in chopped pecans or nuts to coat.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.

Slice the dough into medium-sized rounds and place a whole pecan on top of each.

Arrange the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 12–15 minutes until golden.

Let the cookies cool completely before serving.
