Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown 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, chopped and toasted

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra indulgence)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Mix Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

      Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

          Fold in Pecans: Gently fold in the toasted pecans and chocolate chips (if using) into your dough, ensuring they're evenly distributed.

            Scoop the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop generous blobs of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers are set. Do not overbake.

                Cool Down: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Share your delightful Butter Pecan Cookies with friends and family, or enjoy them all for yourself with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee!
