Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Keep stirring until it turns a golden brown color and smells nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it! Once browned, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of packed brown sugar. Pour the slightly cooled browned butter over the sugars and mix until well combined.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in 1 cup of chopped toasted pecans and 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough.
- For the best flavor and texture, chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
