Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1.5 cups pecans (chopped and toasted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped pecans for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and allow them to cool completely.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the toasted pecans gently using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
