Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 whole Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Pecans, roughly chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
Using a hand or stand mixer, cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the roughly chopped pecans using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the centers remain slightly soft.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the 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.
