Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, bourbon flavor powder, baking soda and salt, then set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add egg and mix one minute longer on medium speed.
  • Add flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, beating after each addition, until well incorporated.
  • Fold in pecans until evenly distributed.
  • Divide dough into two portions and shape into a cylinder shape about 2 inches or more in diameter, using the plastic wrap.
  • After cookie dough portions are wrapped up, place in refrigerator to chill at least 30-40 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350℉ / 176℃ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove chilled dough, unwrap and slice into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Place each slice at least 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes, or just when they begin to brown around bottom edges.
  • Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle a small amount of sea salt on each hot cookie. Slide parchment paper with cookies off onto a cooling rack to continue to cool and start on next batch.
