Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toast the chopped pecans in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until fragrant.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
  6. Fold in the toasted pecans gently.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Chill the dough for 20 minutes.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
  10. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Make sure the butter is softened but not melted for the best texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
