½CupSugar
1Egg
1teaspoonVanilla
½teaspoonBaking Soda
½teaspoonCream of Tartar
¾teaspoonSalt
1CupPecan Cookies Pieces (divided)see note
2CupsFlour
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Measure out ½ cup of the pecans and pulse them in a food processor until they are finely ground. Be careful not to process them into nut butter though. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, vegetable oil, and sugar.
Add the egg and vanilla.
Add the baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Mix well.
Stir in the ½ cup ground pecans and the remaining ½ cup pecan pieces.
Stir in the flour, mixing well.
Scoop the dough out onto the prepared baking sheets by the tablespoonful. Slightly flatten each ball of dough. I use the lightly floured bottom of a juice glass.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. The bottom edges should be lightly browned. Cool and eat!
Notes
Pecan chips will work fine, but you will need to chop them up finer.
