Instructions

In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, softened butter, and chopped pecans. Mix until well combined.
Roll out the dough and cut into circles. Place the circles on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.

Garnish the cookies with chopped pecans, granola, fresh pecans, and powdered sugar, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
