With a delightful combination of buttery goodness, crunchy pecans, and a hint of chocolate chips (optional), these cookies are sure to be a hit with anyone who tries them.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup pecans, chopped

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips if using.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a more intense flavor, try dark chocolate chips.
  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if needed.
  • For a vegan version, swap the butter with vegan butter and eggs with flax eggs.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading.
  • You can store the dough in the freezer before baking and bake directly from frozen with added time.
