Servings: 2 dozen cookies
Calories: 121kcal
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter or non-dairy alternative e.g. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks, room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg or egg substitute like Ener-G® gluten-free Egg Replacer, prepared
- 3/4 cup 101 grams gfJules® All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- 1/4 cup white rice flour or 1/4 cup/34 grams gfJules® All Purpose Gluten Free Flour for smoother texture
- 2-4 Tbs. vanilla yogurt dairy or non-dairy (e.g. So Delicious® Almond or Coconut yogurt) {depending on whether using rice flour, may or may not be needed}
- 1 cup pecans finely chopped (leave some pieces larger for texture)
Instructions
- Cream the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg/sub, beating until light and thoroughly mixed. Finally, mix in the gluten free flours and chopped pecans. Add yogurt if needed to get the dough to hold together. The dough should not be crumbly and should hold a ball well.
- Refrigerate the dough until cold, at least 1-2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350° F (static) or 325° F (convection).
- Scoop tablespoons of the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, flattening the balls of dough slightly. The final product will look very much coming out of the oven like it did going in, so make 'em pretty!
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cooked through and slightly browned (baking longer makes crispier cookies). Cool for 5 minutes slightly before removing from baking sheet.
