1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped and toasted pecans
Instructions:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. This optimal temperature ensures the cookies bake evenly and acquire a beautiful golden tint.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This base guarantees the richness in every bite.
Gently blend in the egg and vanilla extract. This duo adds moisture and an irresistible aroma to our cookies.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution and prevents any clumps.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the buttery blend and stir until it forms a consistent dough. Remember to scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate every bit.
Fold in the toasted pecans. This step infuses the dough with that delightful nutty flavor and crunch.
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form balls of dough and place them on a baking sheet, ensuring ample space between each.
Slide the sheet into your preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until you see that inviting golden hue.
Once baked, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling rack. Once cooled, it’s time to dive in!
