Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, stirring continuously for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and nutty in aroma.
- Mix the Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar with the browned butter, mixing until well combined.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate one egg at a time along with the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Gradually add to the wet ingredients while stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in Pecans: Gently fold in the chopped pecans using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto lined baking sheets. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to plates or an airtight container for storage.
