Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon 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.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix 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 mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender cookie texture.
Step 6
Gently fold in the chopped, toasted pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still appear slightly soft but will firm up as the cookies cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, store in an airtight container for up to one week or share immediately with friends and family!
