¼teaspoonsalt

1cupunsalted butter (2 sticks), softened, divided

½cupgranulated sugar

2large eggs, divided

2teaspoonsvanilla extract, divided

½cuppacked dark brown sugar

1tablespoonground cinnamon

1cupfinely chopped pecans

Directions

Whisk together all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

Beat 1/2 cup butter and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until smooth. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add 1½ cups of the flour mixture, beating just until combined. Place the dough on a sheet of plastic wrap and form into a 10-inch log. Wrap and refrigerate.

Wipe out the mixing bowl. Beat the remaining 1/2 cup butter and brown sugar with the mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the remaining egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until smooth. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the remaining flour mixture and cinnamon, mixing until just combined. Place the dough on a sheet of plastic wrap and form into a 10-inch log. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Working with 1 log of dough at a time, unwrap and slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, turning the dough after each slice and shaping the cookies, if necessary, to retain their shape. Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

To make ahead:Prepare dough through Step 3 and freeze for up to 3 months. Store cookies airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
