Classic Southern Pecan Praline Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the rich, buttery flavor of classic pralines with the satisfying texture of a cookie. These decadent cookies are not only perfect for holiday gatherings but also make a wonderful addition to any dessert platter. Their sweet and nutty flavor, paired with a hint of vanilla, will certainly become a favorite among your family and friends.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This will help to evenly distribute the leavening agent and make certain the cookies have a consistent texture.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat again until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
6. Fold in Pecans: Gently fold in the chopped pecans, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
7. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
8. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
9. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
10. Optional Dusting: If desired, once the cookies have cooled, dust them lightly with powdered sugar for an extra festive touch.

Enjoy your Classic Southern Pecan Praline Cookies with a cup of coffee or as a delightful holiday treat!
