Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup pecans
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Toast chopped pecans on a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract until well combined.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the toasted pecans gently to distribute evenly.
Drop rounded balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Enjoy the warm cookies and their delightful aroma with family and friends.
