Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flour<\/strong>: All-purpose flour is <\/strong>the base of the cookies. I also added oat flour. You can use store-bought or just grind some oats in your coffee blender at home! With any leftover oat flour, try my recipe for cranberry oatmeal cookies.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar<\/strong>: I prefer raw sugar (for the caramel notes), but regular white sugar works just as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maple syrup <\/strong>is the star of the show! It gives these maple and pecan cookies their warm sweetness. Avoid \"pancake syrups\" and go for pure maple syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter: <\/strong>Use soft, not melted, so the cookies stay thick and chewy. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pecans <\/strong>are the reason these cookies sing! But don\u2019t skip this recipe if you don\u2019t have pecans. Walnuts, almonds, or even pistachios work great. Got leftover pecans? Make bite-sized pecan tassies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla extract<\/strong> brings a little warmth that ties all the flavors together. Use store-bought or homemade vanilla extract<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
