Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Grease a muffin tin and scoop the dough into each cup until about two-thirds full. Press down gently to form cups.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix together the toasted pecans, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt for the filling.
