These vegan pecan cookies boast buttery and tender pecan bits in every bite! Enjoy each cookie with a tall glass of homemade pecan milk for a double pecan treat.

Vegan pecan cookies are stacked with pecans around them and more cookies in the background.

It’s definitely a great time of year to make butter pecan cookies! And while it’s National Cookie Day, there’s even more reason to celebrate. In fact, below I am sharing some amazing cookie recipes from some of my favorite food blogging friends.

There’s another reason I love these buttery cookies – you get a taste of my favorite dessert, vegan pecan pie.

the main ingredient

Here are some key ingredients you’ll need to make these cookies:

  • Egg Substitute – We’ll use a flax egg in this recipe, but you can substitute a chia egg.
  • pecan — I buy a lot of pecan halves at Costco.
  • butter – You’ll need a cup of vegan butter designed for baking.
  • sugar — We will use both granulated and brown sugar.
  • molasses — We’ll make these cookies extra soft by adding molasses.
  • flour — You can use all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour that’s made for baking.
  • Levener – You will need both baking soda and baking powder

Storage Tips

Store these pecan cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

  • Prepare flax eggs. Set aside to thicken.

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F/175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Place pecans on a baking sheet and bake 5 minutes, until toasted. Remove from oven. Set aside to cool.

  • Stir together the vegan butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar.

  • Add molasses, flax egg and vanilla, stir until combined.

  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine.

  • Reserve 32 pecan halves. Chop the remaining pecans.

  • Add the chopped pecans to the flour, stirring until they are coated.

  • Stir the flour and butter mixture together to form a dough.

  • Use a cookie dispenser to roll out even sized cookie dough. Place dough balls 2″ apart on prepared cookie sheet. Top each cookie with a pecan half.

  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden on the outside. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies will harden as they cool

Measure the flour

Use the spoon and level method to measure the dough. To do this, sift the flour until it overflows with a spoon in a measuring cup. Use a leveling tool, such as a butter knife, to level the dough in the measuring cup.
