Course: Cookies
Author: Mindee's Cooking Obsession

Ingredients

  • 12 Tbs Butter (no substitutes) softened
  • ¼ Cup Vegetable Oil
  • ½ Cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Cream of Tartar
  • ¾ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Cup Pecan Cookies Pieces (divided) see note
  • 2 Cups Flour

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.
