Gluten-free Butter Pecan Cookies are the perfect Fall treat! These addicting cookies have crispy edges, soft centers, chopped pecans and butterscotch chips throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter pecan… what a killer combination!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For some reason just hearing the term “butter pecan” makes me start to drool, I swear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pecans themselves are soft, buttery nuts that add a rich flavor<\/strong> to any baked good. When left alone, they’re a simple and classic star of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My gluten-free Butter Pecan Cookies are filled with pecans, brown sugar and a hint of cinnamon.<\/strong> But (since I like to take a classic to the next level) these also have butterscotch chips throughout.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because pecans and butterscotch chips together are amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, true butterscotch is made primarily with brown sugar and butter. So I figured they would complement Butter Pecan Cookies perfectly. And then they were so good, I had to share the recipe of course. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These gluten-free Butter Pecan Cookies are based after my popular gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/a><\/strong>. But, this time with a little more brown sugar, some cinnamon, pecans and butterscotch chips instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we’re closing in on September, I figured it was time to share a sort-of Fall flavored treat. Bursting with pecans, butterscotch, brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon… you’ve got one delicious Fall cookie here!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s chat about some cookie options before you start baking…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, to make these Butter Pecan Cookies gluten-free, <\/strong>be sure to use a gluten-free all purpose flour blend<\/a>. If you don’t need them to be gluten-free, then go ahead and use regular white flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make these cookies dairy-free,<\/strong> I’d recommend using a dairy-free butter alternative, like Earth Balance or Country Crock’s Plant Butter. This way you still get some of the butter flavor but also dairy-free cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to add cornstarch to my dry ingredients, to make my cookies a little more tender.<\/strong> If you don’t have cornstarch or don’t like using it, just omit it. I would not recommend trying to substitute it for another ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend using whole pecans or pecan pieces in this recipe.<\/strong> You can use them however you like. Chop them up roughly for larger pieces, or finer for smaller pieces throughout. I prefer having large pieces of pecans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other cookie options:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Butterscotch chips<\/a> are optional<\/strong>, as they aren’t a traditional Butter Pecan Cookie addition. However, I would highly recommend them (they take these cookies to the next level!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their place, you could also use cinnamon chips<\/a>, Heath bits<\/a>, or even chocolate chips (not really quite as Butter Pecan<\/em>.. but still delicious).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than that, these cookies are super quick and easy to make! You’ll love them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filled with warm brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans, and butterscotch chips… it’s like all my favorite things, so you really can’t go wrong with these cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you make them, let me know what you think!<\/strong> Leave a comment and star rating below, and\/or find me on Instagram<\/a> and tag me in your picture. I’d love to see your re-make’s! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
