The recipe
From the book « Happy cookies » by La fabrique cookies
Break the white chocolate into small pieces. Crush the pecans, keeping a few whole ones to place on top. Pour the pecans into a pan and heat over low/medium heat for a few minutes to roast.
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the powdered sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and butter. Work the dough and then add the egg.
Then add the almond powder and cornflour. Mix well.
Finally add the flour. Knead by hand.
Stir in white chocolate and pecans. Mix again.
Chill for at least 15 minutes.
Using an ice-cream scoop, make balls of about 70g of dough and place them on a baking tray covered with baking paper.
Flatten the balls to about 1cm thick. Bake at 150°C for 17 minutes.
As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, add a few whole pecans to the top and a few pieces of white chocolate before the cookies harden.
Then let the cookies cool on a wire rack before eating them.
