Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter & Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the pure vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
5. Fold Pecans: Gently fold in the toasted chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
6. Scoop & Bake: Drop rounded tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft and chewy.
7. Cool & Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely!
