Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Pecan Pie Cookies
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until thoroughly mixed, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the nut butter and maple syrup until smooth. Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped pecans with maple syrup and spices. Stir until well combined and heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form the dough into small balls, place on the baking sheet, and create an indent filled with pecan mixture.
  5. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft and chewy.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Top with dairy-free cream and drizzle with maple syrup.
