Pecan Pie Cookies

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Finally, fold in the chopped pecans.
Bake the Cookies: Using a tablespoon, drop dollops of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack.
