Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup toasted pecans (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Spread chopped pecans on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until fragrant. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about three minutes.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in the toasted pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Let cool slightly before transferring to wire racks. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.
