Method
-
step 1
Beat together the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until well combined. Whisk in the maple syrup, egg and mixed spice.
-
step 2
Fold in the flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt and the chopped pecans to make a dough. Cover and chill for 1 hour to firm up.
-
step 3
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with baking paper or silicone baking mats.
-
step 4
Roll tablespoons of the mixture in your hands to form walnut- sized balls and put on the prepared trays, well spaced apart to allow for spreading. Flatten a little with the palm of your hand to stop them rolling.
-
step 5
Press a pecan into the middle of each cookie ball. Bake, in batches if you need to, for 12-14 minutes or until golden, crisp on the edges and still slightly soft in the centre. Leave to cool on the trays for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
