Ingredients
  

Cookie Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Brown the butter for added flavor.
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
Baking
  1. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
  3. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Watch the butter closely while browning to avoid burning it. Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
