Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for a delightful twist)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pecans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they’re fragrant and lightly golden. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.

        Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

          Fold in Pecans and Chips: Gently fold in the toasted pecans and chocolate chips (if using) with a spatula, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

            Scoop the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.

              Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. The cookies will continue to firm up while cooling.

                Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: Let the delicious aroma fill the kitchen as you enjoy your heavenly Butter Pecan Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
