Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Chopped pecans
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to 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. Enjoy!
