Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups chopped pecans, toasted

Instructions

  • Cream the Butter and Sugars. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer. The mixture should be pale and airy, not greasy or lumpy.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
  • Stir in Toasted Pecans. Fold in the toasted chopped pecans until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Chill the Dough (Optional). For best results, cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Drop Dough onto Baking Sheets. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake the Cookies. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Cool and Enjoy. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
