It’s baking season! These Low Sugar Pecan Cookies are buttery and delicious!
You might remember our other Low Sugar Cookie recipes. Here are just a few of our favorites:
- Easy {Low} Sugar Cookies
- Low Sugar Lemon Melt-Away Cookies
- Low Sugar Almond Melt-Away Cookies
- Low Sugar Orange Melt-Away Cookies
- Low Sugar Lime Melt-Away Cookies
- Low Sugar Chocolate Fudge Cookies
- Low Sugar Oatmeal Cookies
We adapted a few of those to create these Low Sugar Pecan Cookies because it’s so easy to make a tiny tweak to create a brand new recipe!
The “melt-away” cookies listed above are my favorites simply because they are so buttery. This truly makes them melt in your mouth! No one can tell that these are low in sugar OR that they are made with whole grain flour. And the toasted pecans give these such a delightful flavor and crunch!
Low Sugar Pecan Cookies
- 1½ cups melted butter (3 sticks)
- ½ cup sugar (sucanat, raw, brown)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups whole grain flour (I use freshly ground soft white wheat)
- ½ cup pecan pieces toasted in 2 Tablespoons butter
- Toast pecans by stirring them in a small saucepan over low heat for 2-4 minutes. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together butter, sugar, vanilla, and flour.
- Fold in toasted pecans.
- Scoop ½ inch sized balls of dough onto a cookie sheet.
- Press balls down with the end of a drinking glass.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes or until cookies are golden brown.
